Hi there this is my first post, i was banded in derby on sat 25 April, i am feeling very sore at the minute and to be honest a bit sorry for myself lol. I have to be on liquids for 4 weeks but am already struggling, im not hungry but am missing the sensation of chewing food, probably sounds silly i know but i am being good and having slim fast shakes and soups but it is a real struggle.

congrats but I must tell you my Dr. told me no slim fast too many calories check that out you need protein shakes. Good luck your sore now but you will be so happy later. Michelle

LOL...I look forward to chewing on my vitamins and those heavenly calcium/D chews (liquids only now too).

On the subject of Slim Fast, my doc said only get the low carb which can be hard to find. The other kind are in every grocery store but loaded with sugar...the low carbs were at walmart but they only come in vanilla and choc...if you have a jones for the strawb...there a specialK one in little bottles in a four pack (also Walmart) that's ptretty good! Good Luck! Cali
