I totally understand. I was banded Oct. 18. I had 1 week liquid pre-op and 2 week liquid post op. I finished week 1 post op. No tummy upset or anything. I go back to doctor tomorrow for my post op visit. Hope he lets me move on to mushies. I have noticed on some of the posts that they get to start mushies after 1 week post op. I am soooo sick of liquids.
