I just wanted to start a March group. My surgery date is March 2nd.

WOW! Thats awesome SpecialK! Thanks for dropping us some support and motivation!!!

You can do the same with SF, FF pudding. I made it and it was yummy!

What flavor Isopure are you using for this? I purchased the punch but cannot stomach the taste...yours? Maybe the punch will be great with this recipe!! thanks for sharing!!

I got the call today that my surgery is tomorrow morning!!! It was supposed to be Friday but cancelled due to a plumbing issue. Yesterday they told me I would be very lucky to get in next Friday instead. Thank god I didn't bing eat or anything!!!!!!!! So I am just prepped my fridge and house, pulling the recliner out, and begging my coworkers to work for me next week! I have really appreciated the support here so far!

A question- home made turkey broth. Should I even try during my liquids stage or just keep it for when I am able to make soups or need my mashed spuds thinned out?

do you mean should you have it while in liquid stage post op?? well, im making chicken broth and im having that the first stage..

Hello to the March 2012 Bandsters from a March 2008 bandster who is 4 years out and 120 lbs less than I was when I had surgery on St. Patrick's Day March 17, 2008. Hang in there - I would never want to go back.

I haven't been banded yet but have experimented with two different ones so far. I did the punch Isopure and strawberry jello (pretty good). Then the blue Isopure and raspberry jello. So far so good

No repair needed....sick like close throwing up constantly maybe the anesthesia is causing this

it sounds like it is.. did you get a chance to talk with your anaesthesiast before the surgery?/ i had a really good talk with mine on friday. i have a history of vomiting.. badly. im hoping that he has really got this one sorted out. i guess i will know on thursday, eh? .....

I just ate the Swansons broth, I like the reclosable container so I can just pour what I need and save the rest. But kudos to you for cooking for yourself! I'm sure yours is better for you than the Swansons.

... actually we live in the country and there just isnt the supply of ready to eat products that one would normally get in the city. im used to it. lol. well, the broth didnt taste too bad i must say, i sampled it. i will put some bonoxin it though to give it more flavour i think. im going to do the same with beef and lamb. boil up for stock, add fried onion rings, boil a little more and then sieve the lot. hopefully these will get me through. i have bought some protein meals.. powdered shakes, i havent tried them yet. i love soups as a rule so i think i will mainly go this way. . for now, anyway. probably at the end of it i will never want to see soup again. lol.
