Newly banded in NY

[melinda122 1]

Hello everyone, I was banded on June 18 by Dr. Kwon in NY. I have been doing great, recovered much quicker than I thought. I even went to a Backyaragins Live show with my 2 yr old 4 days post surgery. I have now lost a total of 30lbs...18lbs post surgery. The liquid diet is getting really boring, but I know in the long run it will be worth it...

Any suggestions about the liquid diet. I am worried about that! I had some chicken broth and I added garlic salt, Lawrys Seasoning Salt, Thyme and dill and it tasted pretty good. I am on a pre-op diet until my band on July 4th. good luck and good job!

I made egg flour Soup. Boiled chicken and used the broth and swirled eggs in it. Then strained it was great and ok by my doc. I was also creative with my drinks add yogurt, pudding mix SF. There are several ideas available on the internet.

Have fun and best of luck to you. I did the liq diet for three weeks I am now on one meal a day and the rest liq. its not all that bad

Okay, I been wondering this for the last couple of days. If we can do liquid diets some up to 3 weeks then why can we not control what we eat other times and not have the band? I am wondering if I can do this why should I spend the money on getting the band if I am going to have to have the strength of liquid diets? Is it because we see an end to all this madness of struggling with food?
