    I loved my liquid phase. Here's a list of food I ate. For me having choices made all the difference. I also served myself from a tray and put yogurt in wine glasses. You do what makes you feel like a

I was banded may 11th... I've been eating chobani vanilla yogurt and drinking carnation Breakfast essentials... I feel hungry every couple hours... Still trying to manage all my Protein and liquid I need for a day.

Now I am trying to plan my soft solid meals( starts Friday!) Not sure what I can and can't have... Waiting for my cookbooks I ordered.. hopefully can get some great ideas

I was banded on the 11th as well!!! To be honest I haven't felt hungry at all but I haven't felt full either. It really crazy!!!! I have my 3 Protein shakes a day all my liquids and I might have a Greek yogart in the evening if I don't have broth. Now tonight my husband brought me some egg drop Soup and I strained the eggs and it was delish!!!! I'm feeling great!!!!! I am some what nervous about starting soft foods on Friday. It sounds like our schedule as far as food is the same. Look forward to doing this journey with you.

Egg Drop soup sounds yummy!! I was going to try tomato soup from applebees but I don't think it's made very healthy!.. definitely looking forward to this journey with you too. So glad I found this forum!! :-)

I was banded on the 10th! I wish I was hungrier. I'm not very hungry and I'm struggling to get all of my protein and fluids. eek!

Was banded on the 18th. I can't do this liquid crap anymore, I am not a sweet eater and I have drank so much broth I think I am going to drown. I cheated and started my mushies on day 5 and so far so good. Anyone else have this kind of problem or suggestions.

I was banded the tenth also and did the same thing as you by starting mushy goods and I'm a-ok. I just had a follow up two days ago and they said I'm healing fine and said I could start soft to an extent:)

I was also banded on May 14th and my doctor took me off liquids on sunday the 20th, I am still having problems with eating a little and then being hungry again 2-3 hrs later so frustrated right now.
