Jan '09 bandsters pre-op liquid diet

Hi fellow Bandsters and Bandsters to be. I've gone liquid, today is day five and it's not too bad with calls from the family checking up and cheering on. Nine more days til I get banded. I feel a little weak and forgetful and hungry. I'm surprised at the 60 calorie applesauce and puddings, they do take away the hunger pains. I need to eat two of them at once. Instead of Slimfast, I am on a whey protien drink which with water is only 100 calories, a lot less calories. I like the taste but not the smell so I don't breathe in through my nose when I drink. Three a day gives me my needed protien. The 100 calorie yogurts are good, but I also need to eat two. I'm so proud of my cousin who had the bypass mid November and has lost 50lbs. I can't let her go to the beach alone now can I? If anyone can add to this it would be greatly appreciated, much love and success to all, Tim
