Hey Bob! Congrats on the Birthday! You and I share our Band date as I was banded Tuesday as well! I too thought Thanksgiving was going to be tough with Family over, but I was suprised how filling chicken broth was! Ha Ha! My dr says I can start on really thin Mushies today(Thin oatmeal, Grits, Creamy Soups etc), but I'm going to wait till tonight, to see if i have any hunger.

Keep in touch! I'm excited to see how this works out for the both of us!

Good Luck, and stay focused!

Kevin

Congrats and welcome to the other side! I was banded on Monday and am feeling great. I started mushy foods yesterday and did fine. Best of luck!!

I was banded on the 23rd also and am struggling with eating enough on the liquids. My Dr. has me on liquids only for 3 weeks and I am just not hungry and have trouble wanting to eat anything. I am makingmyself drink the protein shakes and drinking lots of protein water to keep up with that but I feel bad that the only "food/meals" I am eating is like a can of soup a day. I am down 9 lbs since Tuesday..
