Thanks. At least i know there is something to watch for. I had my band put on 8/28 so you are just two days ahead of me. Can't wait to actually chew!! Good luck to us!!

I go back to my doctor for the first time on Monday. I hope to be able to start with some more solid foods. I amscared that I will eat too much or not know when to stop. Is there a feeling you get? Thank you 2muchfun for the recipe. Looks great!

I have had a great post op. Get hungry some. Can't tolerate the protein shake (gastric distress big time). Been depending on Greek yogurts, cream soups, pudding, jello. I know I am not getting enough protein. Any suggestions for more protein. Also trying to use yogurts and soups as 3 meals. Then drink water after waiting 30 minutes. I can't tell if I am full or not. When do you know?

I think we do have Tropical Smoothie, but the Splenda would cause the issues. I can use stevia. I wonder if the have that. Thanks for your suggestion.

I am sure it is the sweetners, but everything I have for this liquid phase has it in it. It gives me uncontrollable diarrhea with no warning. I called today and dr. told me to take an anti diarrheal which is great, but I would like to know what the culprit is. I have been sticking to water, ice, broth and iced fruit bars. Not very much protein, but I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions.

Great motivation for me! Congratulations on your success.

I was banded on August 28,2014. I am on the two weeks of liquids. This part has not been easy. Either the artificial sweetness or something else had caused a lot of gastric issues. Go back to the Doctor on Monday. Hopefully I can progress to something a little heavier.
