well i basically had a fluids with me all the time . I drank water, sugarfree juices, protien, all day long. To me it was what made me full. Thats how i judged it. So just listen to your body and you shouldbe good. I was told to drink 64 oz of liquides in the day no matter what it was. Hope this helps ....

well u are not alone.. I was banded on the 25th .. I know how hard it is. I know the feeling u are getting. I totally understand.I have been battling myself for a very long time. It is mental. I sat in the parking lot of mc d's and fought with my mind on weather i should have a ice cream cone the other day. I won i didnt have one but still it is something u need to think about stopfor a second and think what am i doing . I stop and think how good i am going to look after all said and done, how good i am going to feel after all said and done. I did this for me . Not my son not my family not my husband . but ME. I have to be on liquids for three weeks thats a long time. Now i have had some mushie foods but i had a very little. I chew very well and i felt pretty good . But mostly liquid protein shakes and yogart and jello and soup. Just think of how good u will feel. When u loose some weight take time out to tell urself how proud u are of yourself and buy something for yourself . When i loose weight i buy a shirt or pants . Just to feel better. Award. Remeber its for u girl and u will do well. Please write if u want and have a good weekend.
