Hello there,
I also had my band fitted three weeks ago on 11/20/10 and could not cope with the "what you can suck through a straw" is ok as long as it isn't melted chocolate etc. I made my own Soups but ate them a little thicker than watery like which satisfied me better.
I know this is not a quick fix but I am struggling already. They say that this does not work on 10% of people but I don't believe that. I think the people it does not work on are the people who are still eating fattening foods. After all you can easily eat say full fat tubs of ready made custard and ice cream. Alot of it belongs in our heads. I have to go back to my doctor in a couple of weeks time to have my band tightened for the first time. The other thing we have to do is to change our lives and life style. I am going to start swimming in a couple of weeks time and go from there. See how I feel, maybe take on a bit more excercise. I want to lose weight to change my life. I hate being fat.
