Entering the 2nd week. Struggling a little with hunger. Ideas for 2nd week liquids would be so welcome. As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), I can have skim milk. Can I have these things: V-8 juice, Yogurt smoothies (store bought), the smoothies from the recipes on this site, campbells Soup at hand, other Soups put through a blender (?), milkshakes (made with skim milk and sugar free ice cream). Any ideas would be so appreciated.

NSV - Put on a pair of pants yesterday that fit me before surgery...but yesterday, they were just too big! I had to keep hiking them up! :thumbup:

Happy July 4th Everyone

You have a great list. I have already done the soups and blended them in the blender and they were great. I am still full of gas I don't have that I lost and can tell yet. I mean 19lbs was alot but most of my clothes were cotton and stretch so maybe that's why I can't tell.

Good luck hope people come along and give great ideas!!!

Good for about your pants--what a nice feeling!

I was banded June 23rd and I also ate applesauce(I bought the ready to eat in cups,and they also have different flavors summer stawberry and harvest peach) and mashed potatoes (I bought instant Idahoian 4 cheese--yummy). 1 cup filled me up for dinner/the evening. They both worked fine. I also got some Italian Ice cups & sugar free popscicles. Good Luck & Happy 4th!

you r doing great when i was on my econd week i started eating very thin mashed potatoes made with 1% milk, smoothies from the store and cream soup im doing fine ive lost 35 pounds since may12,2008 so it's ok just never eat more than 4oz. good luck!

Thanks. Looks like you are doing great as well! Keep up the good work! :thumbup: Happy 4th!

Cream of Wheat has been a help for me. It has a fair amount of iron, and I cook it in milk for the extra protein.
