:help: DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS A DRINK THAT WILL HELP GET ME THROUGH TO SOLIDS THAT WILL HELP ME WITH THE HUNGER BUT WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF MY WEIGHT LOSS? I WAS BANDED 8/23/06 AND SINCE THE SECOND DAY, I HAVE BEEN RAVENOUS!!! I AM ALLOWED FULL LIQUIDS NOW AND I WAS DRINKING SLIM FAST OPTIMA WHICH I LIKE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE BEST DRINK TO SUPPORT WEIGHT LOSS? I BOUGHT A DRINK FROM GNC THAT IS A "SMOOTHIE" WITH LESS CARBS AND LESS CALORIES AND SUGAR, BUT IT IS JUST NOT VERY TASTY. IN FACT IT LEAVES A HORRIBLE AFTER TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH. I JUST FIGURE IT IS BETTER TO DRINK ONE OF THESE HEALTH DRINKS INSTEAD OF DRINKING FATTENING LIQUIDS LIKE BROTH, SUGAR-FREE PUDDINGS ETC. THAT DON'T FILL ME UP. I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE MY HUNGER IS MENTAL EITHER BECAUSE MY STOMACH IS GROWLING SO LOUD. I AM TRYING SO HARD NOT TO GRAZE ON BAD THINGS AND IT WOULD REALLY HELP IF I COULD FIND A SATISFYING DRINK THAT WOULD TAME MY HUNGER AND SUPPORT MY WEIGHT LOSS. PLEASE, PLEASE SEND YOUR ADVICE MY WAY. THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Aren't full liquids just that? Why not some blended thinned down soups? I started those right after clears. I think I blended protein rich soups and thinned with water/broth/milk. Don't worry too much about losing weight during this time. Let your stomach heal and keep your body healthy.
