Crystal Lite, tea w/ splenda, sugar free jello,sugar free popsicles, sugar free hard candies (werther's candy) propel water, vitamin waters ok. Anything that you can see through. I lived off the popsicles, tea and crystal lite. They are shrinking your liver by doing this.

Yes It will be a long journey, but it will be worth it in the long run. I had my consultation on May 19, 2008 and i weighed 409, banded on Aug. 27th at 377 and as of my 1st fill Oct. 1 I'm at 361. I have gone down two sizes in clothes and have alot more energy already. My family and friends all know and have been very supportive. I am more ashamed and disappointed with myself for getting this big than having to get banded to lose weight. Best of luck to you and your journey!!

All those recipes sound great but does anyone have any that doesn't include chicken? I am 6 weeks post op and had my first fill a week ago 2cc's and I am having trouble eating chicken no matter how well I chew it.

I had my surgery on Aug.27, 2008 and I have sleepapnea. I was told to bring my machine to the hospital also. They didn't use it but I was told that when I got home I had to keep it on the rest of the day and that night.

I'm new to this forum. I was banded on August 27, 2008 and had my first fill on Oct. 1, 2008.:redface: So far everything is going really well.
