I am amazed how good I feel just two days after having my band fitted. I was banded on November 23rd in Bath UK and came home from hospital a few hours ago.

My surgeon wants me on a free Fluid diet for two weeks, then two weeks on puree and then solid food. Any ideas for perking up the fluid diet would be so appreciated!

Tomato Soup.

Add hot sauce, makes it spicy.

Add sour cream, for a fun taste.

Mix it with milk to make it creamy.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

Mix in a little cheese whiz while heating.

Make some beef vegetable, or chicken vegetable soup for the family, and ladle yourself out a bowl, straining the solids out. It will have tons more flavor than just broth.
