Hello, I was banded on the 5th of January as well. Not exactly sure how to use this website. All I have to say is that liquid diet sucks!!:thumbdown: It wouldn't be that bad if I couldn't smell the delicious smells coming from the kitchen when my fiance cooks for him and the kids.What are some of the things that you eat for the liquid part? I go on Tuesday for my 1 week post op and pray I can go to Purees!! So far, it;s been fat free pudding, fat free yogart, broth, and lots of crytal light in water bottles. I honestly feel like I have no restictions. I know I have lost something because I can see the bones in my toes now. GO ME!!!
