I was just banded on May 12, 2008. Prior to my surgery my nutritionist had a list of stages and foods that were allowed. What stage are you in? I might be able to give you a list of what you can have. I am in stage III and able to have cream soup that was provided (tomato and cream of chicken) I just add 6 oz of hot water and its delicious. Also, I can have sugar free pudding, popsicles, crystal light flavors in my water and of course my protein drinks that were provided and they are 15 oz of protein each. I can also have Dannon carb and suger control yogurt. I do not feel as if I am missing out on anything. I just also received a recipe with four cheese mash potatoes and chicken broth and its the best potato soup! I am staying with around 70 grams of protein daily and 64 oz of water (liquids, crystal light). I am only allowed products that have 5 oz or less of fat and sugars. I really am paying attention to the fats and sugars!
