Individual food journals during liquid + mush stages?

Hi. I'm having my band put in mid-March, God and the insurance companies willing, and am now trying to plan things as well as possible so that everything goes smoothly.

In the program in which I've enrolled, people are encouraged to keep journals, to keep track of their eating. I've seen the food Journal thread here, but it is a participatory thing, and it's harder to track what one person is eating. I wonder if any of you bandsters have

1. kept their food journal fairly religiously

2. would consider sharing several weeks' worth of their consumption pattern over the clear liquid/murky liquid/mushy phases of the recovery (and, if they did a pre-op regime, that too would be interesting).

3. might have any "in retrospect, things I would have done differently" insights to share.

If this has already been done, please point me in that direction!

Thanks,

Fenton
