So I have been trying to get this surgery for just under a year. I was finally banded two weeks ago Friday and I am supposed to be on a liquid puree diet, but I am having such a hard time with it. I am one of those people that hates the texture of pureed foods. I thought that I would be able to do it and even tried a few times before surgery just to make sure, but I don't seem to be doing so hot now. I find myself eating a lot of runny potatoes (starch = not the best) and soup (which doesn't keep me full for long. I have also crushed up some bananas and mixed them with a teaspoon of low fat peanut butter. Between those and yogurt, that is pretty much my diet. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem and, if so, what were some of the things that you did to overcome it.
