Dear Vino, I had my band inserted on 06-17-09 so I feel your pain. I was so sick of Soups and liquids I could hardly look at them. I am now eating mushies but very very carefully and paying attention to ensure I am getting rid of it if you know what I mean. I have not had any problems doing that. The only things I have tried is what my doctor suggested which was really really mushied up tuna and pureed Beans. I love miracle whip so first I use all white albacore canned tuna in Water and drain the tuna a little. Then I use a chopper and chop it up really really fine and put in miracle whip and make it as liquid as possible. I am only able to eat about a tablespoon but it is enough and it satisfies that craving for something meat. I was at 232lbs going in and I am currently at 224lbs. so I am steadily losing. The important thing is to keep up with the Protein shakes the doctor gives you. I use totally skim milk with the little measuring thing that comes with it. Eight ounces (I measure). I drink that in the morning and chew my Vitamin. Then for lunch, I eat tuna and drink usually water or no calorie something (I like diet ocean spray cranberry) but there are lots of choices out there. I also do things during the day that I have been putting off to keep my mind off of eating. You will be filled about the same time I am so let me know how you are doing. I will be filled on 07-07-09 for the first time and will let you know how it goes for me. Keep in touch and good luck. Greytz :thumbup:
