I was banded on April 10th too!!!

I was also banded on 4/10/09. Was on full liquid diet as well and didn't get hungry until Monday night. I was just drinking/eating jello, 100% fruit juice, 3oz ensure, etc. But my doctor only suggests pure liquid diet for the first three days. I was advanced to the mushies (mashed potatoes, oatmeal, farina, baby food, purees etc) last night. And I did very well, last night I had a jar of mango baby food 3.5oz and today i had 2oz of cottage cheese mixed with 1.5oz of orange/banana baby food and it was pretty good and did the trick. No problems at all with my band and my doctor said i could even go up to 4oz if i was still hungry, which i'm not, the 3.5oz is plenty. how long are you required to stay on the liquid diet?
