I was banded on 6/05/09 and am feeling the same way. I have been eating the sugar free popsicles drinking the Protein Drinks and drinking different Soups. I run them through a colander and drink the liquid portion and give the vegetables and noodles to my 2 yr old. I could not handle plain chicken and beef broth. Today is my one week anniversery.

I was banded 6/9, was put on phase 2 upon discharge from the hospital yesterday so I am now on applesauce, Protein Shakes, soups/ broths, crystal lite and Water, popsicles. All sugar free of course.

that applesauce was so good yesterday, and my daughter and I shared a can of chicken noodle Soup today, i got the broth she got the chicken/noodles.

Homemade veggies Soups - well blended. they hit the spot and feel far more like food than Protein Shakes do.

I di well on my liquid diet, but only becaues I knew I HAD to do well or I would die... or so I thought :-) I just didn't want to ruin my band and I was ready to start my weight loss and that was the first step. I was very happy with the liquid dietbecause I lost 50 of the 80 pounds that way!

Stick with it friends. I was banded on 2/2/09 and during the liquid faze I wanted to commit suicide. I was so depressed and HUNGRY. After 2 weeks I started the mushies even though I was suppose to wait 3 weeks.

I know it is hard but you can do it. The rewards will come later. I am less than 4.5 months out and I am down 74 lbs as of this am.

Stick with it, it is difficult but you can do it

Today is day one of my pre-op liquid diet. I get one small meal so I am saving that for dinner time. I am going to do this because I have to. I dont want to die young. I need to be here for my girls. You can do it :confused: we all can. I go in for surgery on June 26th. I am very excited for my lifestyle change.

Thank you all, your posts really helped me )

and I have to agree with elcee that home made veggi Soups is the best for me so far.......
