I have my 2 week post op appt on Tuesday. I am still on a full liquids and I am going crazy....I need something with texture, something besides soup. I know most of it is in my head but I have been so upset today because I can only have liquids. I am questioning why I did this to myself and then I say this is not forever!! Please give me some tips on how you handled this stage. I am not hungry at the moment but it will be soon time for dinner and if I have to soup I think I will just go to bed...I can't do it....would mashed potatoes or cream of wheat be so bad??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I am feeling better and it is a new day!!!! I just have to look at as like I only have a couple more days before I go back to the doctor. I just feel like a bottomless pit. I read stuff about people who can't drink a lot or it takes them 3 hours to drink a 8oz protein drink and that is so not me. I hope I haven't done anything to my band. I will make it, not cheat and I owe that to ya'll!!!! THANKS!!!!!

Holly--it sounds like someone is PROUD of herself!

And doesn't it feel GOOOOOOOD!

Reenie, I tried that with a meatball the other day. All it did was make my stomach even angrier with me since it got a taste but no meatball came its way. It's just easier for me to go without food until Monday when can start mushies.

Glad it worked for you though!

If you are on a full liquid diet you should be able to have cream of wheat. Having been on many after surgery I know that most hospitals serve it but you could call your local hospital & ask. Custard is also on full liquid and has a chewy texture then pudding. I'm just thankful that my doc didn't require this kind of diet. Hang in there you will be done soon and it just a minor bump in the road.:rolleyes2:
