Hi everyone! I was banded on 2/17 (about 2-1/2 weeks ago) and I will be able to start mushy foods next Wednesday. I think my Dr. is more conservative than others and that most are already on solid foods by now......I have used Jay Robb protein shakes. They taste very good and I mix them with water and a drop of low fat milk. I especially like when I add a cup of strong decaf coffee to the chocolate shake....tastes like a mocha frosty! I use Jay Robb because the protein numbers and quality are good and there are no carbs and no artificial sweeteners...just stevia. Thanks for the info about the other stevia sweetened drink...I am going to check it our right now!!! I have lost 33 lbs since January 13th (my 1st Dr. visit). I had a very easy time with the surgery...I think the thing I have struggled with the most is the liquid diet....I miss my food!!! But luckily, the time has gone by quick......and when I see the scale I know it is all very worth it!!

I'm from the NY metro area....where is everyone else from?

My Date Is Feb. 17Th.....looking Forward To It But Also Scared!
