Hi, I am new to all of this. I was banded on the 25th of June 09 and am having a difficult evening tonight, so I thought I would join this to give me inspiration.. and it really has, you people are amazing and I know that this is very hard work. Being on this liquid diet is crap and I am over it... I absolutely hate soup and I can't have anymore because I am over it. In three weeks I have lost 8 kilos, my D.R wants me to loose around 30 kilos but I would be much happier with at least 40 kilos. I know this journey is going to be hard but I also know that it will be sooooo worth it. I just can't wait until I am at the end of the journey and liking myself again. How have others found this so far? :0)

I felt the same way in my liquid stage. I swore off soup for a long, long time. I got pretty down until the mushy stage. It has been so helpful to be there. The food possibilities are so much better. Hang in there. Good Luck.
