Thanks everyone!!! Really truly!

No I haven't, maybe I will though. I have a bunch of fat ass pix to choose from anyway! :biggrin:

I was enjoying the broths too. I went to a little more upscale market than my usual Kroger and found instant Miso in the Asian section, Onion Soup and Mushroom Soup broths in the Kosher section and Vegetable Base bullion cubes with the other broths. Its funny because I had less trouble doing the all liquid my first few days than when I was able to have half my calories in frozen meals at the end of the day. I found myself slipping up and wanting more when I faced with real food. Of course even with slip ups its much less than I normally would eat. I met with a nutritionist today and she said when I get my band that ten minutes before eating a meal to drink a WARM liquid like warmed Water with lemon or hot tea as it helps relax the esophagus and helps solids go down better.

I am another June 3. My liquid diet is a partial liquid diet. I had a lot of trouble with diarrhea the first week. Then I cut out the coffee and it's been a lot better. My surgeon also said I could eat a little more for dinner just say at 1000 calories for the whole day. So my diet is basically a shake for Breakfast and lunch and then dinner, a lean cuisine. I have gone over the calories a couple days and way under the first couple days when it was all liquid no solids. I just couldn't stomach more than 3 of those shakes a day.

I am also scheduled for June 3.
