I was justed banded December 15th! Yay me right!? Wrong!!! I am struggling with only eating liquids and everyone else in my household is eating regular stuff!!?? Any advice/tips?? Help me please!! I feel so alone in this!!!! :sad::mad::frown::thumbup:

You can do it. I was banded over two weeks ago and now in the mushy stage. I have to admit tonight I have been a little bad. I eat a cookie because we were baking for christmas. But other then that I have been sticking to it... I eat for liquids yogurt, protein shakes that I added everything to to make them taste yummy... sf puddings, sf jello.. I also made homemade custard that was yummy.. You can do it..

I feel your pain. I am 3 days post-op and only allowed herbal tea, diet jello, broth, and water. So, not only am I on liquids only, but essentially no calories. My family has been really good about going out for most of their meals, but when they have eaten here, I just hang out in my room... close myself off from the eating. That way I am not torturing myself. Maybe that is a little rude, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Its a temporary thing I figure so they can deal w/it.

this gets easier and harder .... I make sure I have something for me, nice coffee or juice something i wouldn't normally have, soup. last night cooked prawns for hubby and kids could of cried they looked so good... its up and down, one thing though i bought heaps less and everyone is eating heaps less and there is no eating quick and eyeing off the plates to get more, the greed is gone from all of us. This small thing you have done is making a huge great future.

Good luck Chooky

forgot i chew gum its nice to just chew something
