    Banded 4 days... Liquid phase is killing me!

    I'm confused about EXACTLY what I CAN have on day 2-7 immediately after surgery. My Dr. Says clear broth, jello, ice pops, diet hot cocoa, apple juice, nothing with milk until week 2. For the clear broth I was thinking of wonton soup broth which I like. I see people mentioning tomato basil soup, potato leek soup, egg drop soup. Wouldn't those soups be for week 2? Can someone clarify for me? Thanks!

    Anyone being banded in March?

    My date is March 5th. Started researching end of August. Got very compulsive and went thru all the red tape and got approved very quickly. Had surgery date in November but wasn't ready...mainly because I didn't want to spend the holidays and the dead of winter without my "drug". So...made this new date for March 5 so by the time I have surgery I'm going into Spring (NY) and don't feel like crawling into bed when it gets dark...find myself eating ANYTHING I want now...trying to use a 30 second Timer every so often just to c what it feels like to chew slowly. But then I say "screw it...I have 3 more weeks to eat so just enjoy it. Find myself thinking stuff like "Soon I won't be able to EVER have a BIG bowl of pasta again" and on and on. I hear stories of the small amounts u can eat down the line and wonder if I can do it. Don't like to throw up so will most likely stick to the rules. But then find myself thinking "Well I can still have SOME chocolate at night....down the road.....if I want to... Or.....if I'm feeling desperate I can always have a milkshake." On some level if it takes me a few extra months to lose the weight I feel like I need to know I can still have some comfort food In smaller amounts if I want to. Feels good to say what's really on my mind:) anyone else have any of these feelings?
