Was banded on Monday! And I'm almost to my one week mark to go visit the doctor again, I need some suggestions on stuff to have for liquid diet!! I feel like I need something other than pure liquid... I've tried protein shakes I drink them

Once or twice a day I can't finish much of them because I feel full very fast. Any ideas on some liquids or something that you have within the first week?

popsicles, crystal light, V8.

Hi Megan, congratulations! For the full liquids stage I really enjoyed a potato leek Soup made by a company called Imagine. It comes in a carton and we found it in the natural foods section of the regular grocery store. Creamy and delicious but no-dairy. I added some chili as I enjoy savory foods. I also really liked Miso soup a lot. Homemade applesauce. My surgeon described full liquids as those which would slide off a plate turned on its side. Thinned out cooked Cereal with maple syrup. Yogurt, etc. Hopefully they will have a whole list for you when you go in for your checkup! Good luck with everything and enjoy a nice quiet weekend with plenty of walking.

You can take any kind of chunky soup and purée it. Add canned chicken for more protein. Once puréed its smooth and tasty!

Awesome thanks so much! I just am so bored with only propel and water and protein shakes I'm

Going to switch it up with protein shakes I think!

I was banded Monday too. I also feel full after only 1/2 a shake . Are we supposed to drink whole thing even if we feel full? I am not sure about that part. Any advice would be great!

I was never able to finish a whole protein shake. I just put it back in the frige and would wait an hour to finish it.

I have taken tomato soup and thinned it out with Water. Then I have put taco seasoning in it, and then some fat free sour cream... I love Mexican food, and this has definitely helped me crave it less!! It's really cheap, and super good. I only drank about 1/3 of a cup today, and placed the rest of it in the fridge. I imagine this $0.60 can of tomato soup will last me a couple more days. : D

I was banded Monday Too and I am just counting my days to the puree stage !
