Well my favorite right now is the Light Laughing Cow soft cheese wedges. I just use the original, but I know that they come in a few different flavors for some variety. They are really soft and creamy and they totally satisfy me.

I had the same problem, about three weeks post-op I started having trouble. I upped my fiber intake to no avail and finally my mom gave me a tea bag by Traditional Medicinals called Organic Smooth Move, it is an herbal stimulant laxative tea that you take at night and by the next morning, I was back on track. I am going to try it three days in a row and then cut back to every other day. I am sure you can find it at the health food store or if any of your local stores have a health food section, like where you can get organics. That has done the trick for me, thankfully, I understand the frustration.

Hello, this is my first post, but I have to say, everything I have read has been so helpful through the beginning of my journey. I was banded on July 23rd, 2009. During my two week pre-op I lost 15. Then since then, during my four weeks of post-op liquid I lost another 18. I start four weeks of mushies this week but even with working out, my weight loss has stalled out a bit. I am certainly not losing as quickly as I was. Is this normal? Is it because I have started mushies and my system isn't used to actual food? Any information or experiences would be great. I have stuck to everything perfectly. Even with mushies, I stick to 1-1 1/2 oz of mushed foods. Thanks
