Penny Yes I can imagine how hard it is still being on liquids but the pounds are coming off......one day at a time.

Penny Sounds like it is going better..I just got my shipment of unjury yesterday. I also got the chicken soup variety but I haven't tried it yet.....I do like your ideas for the tomato soup thinning it and adding protein powder is a great idea.......:thumbup:I am going to try it. I will look into the EAS as well.Keep up the good work.

Penny......omg...i am three weeks out and at my 2 week checkup surgeon said to start eating fish eggs etc..........5 weeks is tough..........but i bet you get a great weight loss.....good luck

:thumbup: Hi all I am a "newbie" (banded on Oct. 1st 2008) and very happy I checked this thread today because I am having similar questions. Getting 3 shakes in is very, very hard..feeling so tired....feeling good one day and doing things and exhausted the next day. Hearing that is normal makes me feel much better. I would also like to dress up my name with a ticker so if anyone would give me some help i would appreciate it.Hope we are all feeling better soon. I am not allowed to eat cream soups or any cereals until after day 14. good luck all. PS Has e1 started driving yet? I am still limited to very local short trips.

Have you found any shakes you like? I start my 3 shakes a day and one meal diet on sept. 15th.good luck to you linda
