Yeah I noticed that. All I do is watch people eat when I am on my liquid diet for another day. Can't wait for mashed potatoes cottage cheese and some more Soup lol Hope all is going well for eveyone

I'm finally a week out being banded. I got to steer new things and get off my Clear liquids. I fill so full and love my yogurt. I have lost 26lb in 7 days and feeling restrictive. I hope I can chew my food just as good as I can swallow my liquid. I am afraid of loosing the weight to fast as I haven't even had a fill. I'm only one week out. Is this normal for someone being banded? Kay

I was banded June 28th I'm 9 days post op and have list 32 lbs now. I follow my plan diet to a tee. Hope all is going well as liquids and Soups suck. I been adding flavor to everything fresh herbs and spices for flavor. Gods luck my June banders Kayleena

Breakfast Protein shake with coffee 30 min later 1/2 cup liquid your choice low sugar or none 30 min later same 30 min same lunch 1/2 cup creamy Soup 30 min later drink 30 min drink 30 min drink Snack Jello or yogurt dinner soup 1/2 cup 30 min Protein Shake again before bed helps blood sugars. Drink drink drink! Think as if it was your million dollar meal and you only get it once. Enjoy the flavor and rich creamy texture and play with your food and shakes helps too. I like to stir things more and sip sip sip. Hope this helps oh yes! If you hold more then 1/2 cup of food or liquids that's ok too. Kayleena
