I got banded on 7/10/07 and am in the liquid stage. I have been eating strictly protein shakes and want to eat. What can I expect in the next stage? Any help would be great!

Ok I am a little jealous.....how do you get those cute little bars on the bottom of your pages to reflect your success?:help:

I just did mine at Trying To Conceive Ticker and they have it all setup its dummy proof. Just choose weight loss (or whatever you want on there) and it gives you a code that you copy and paste into your signature and there ya go....:whoo:

I am starting the liquid for 2 weeks - I just finished the OptiFast and I hated it to begin with but grew to really like it - I mixed dry sugar free jello to the liquid vanilla drink and threw in some ice cubes and blended them in my Magic Bullet. Great tasting. Also loved the soup. I mixed it with different spices for a great way to change the taste. I am having potato soup and jello for supper.

Anyone have any recipes they would like to share for this liquid stage.

There's a few recipes threads in the Food Forum, I found lots of good stuff there.

I was banded 7/18 and will be on liquids for two weeks. Here I am on day three and I keep looking at the calendar just wanting to get on with it. Nothing liquid tastes good to me. I,ve made 3 different cream soups and have thrown them all out. So I keep telling myself "stop being such a whiner" this to shall pass.
