I was banded w/the Realize band on May 7th (yesterday!) I have found that I can drink quite easily and could probably eat chunky soups like Clam Chowder if I tried. However, my doc recommended 2 weeks of liquid diet. Are there any others out there who have figured out what to eat in these next 2 weeks? I'm fine w/staying on liquids, but I sure would like to have some watery Cream of Wheat or chunkless soup..... Ideas?

I was wondering the same thing. I bought some tomato soup when I got all my liquids just in case I could have it, and I sooooo want it. I have been sticking to broth, pudding, yogurt, etc tho.

Drinking is pretty easy for me too, and I feel like there is nothing I can't eat, but I'm not taking any chances so I'm sticking to my surgeon's diet.

Starting today (Day 4) I can now have the following in addition to my water juice and protein shakes....

V-8 Juice or Tomato Juice

Diet Splash

Strained thinned cream soups (without meat or veggies)

Low fat yogart

I have found it very easy to get my protein in today by adding unjury powered protein to my yogurt, and I'll probably add some non flavored protein powder to my soup today.

On day 8 (only 4 more days) I can start having mushies.... I can't wait!!!!

I'm going to buy some of those Campbell's Soup at Hand. And I am actually going to try some baby food! I know that sounds crazy, but it's very liquidy and may taste good. Another thing I thought about is whipped cream with jello. I'll get the lowest sugar/fat type of Coolwhip and see how that goes. another thing that sounds good is cheese soup. I'm going to just cruise through Walmart this afternoon and see what I can find!
