Almost a week of being banded

[megankc93 16]

Was banded on Monday! And I'm almost to my one week mark to go visit the doctor again, I need some suggestions on stuff to have for liquid diet!! I feel like I need something other than pure liquid... I've tried Protein Shakes I drink them

Once or twice a day I can't finish much of them because I feel full very fast. Any ideas on some liquids or something that you have within the first week?

Hi Megan, congratulations! For the full liquids stage I really enjoyed a potato leek Soup made by a company called Imagine. It comes in a carton and we found it in the natural foods section of the regular grocery store. Creamy and delicious but no-dairy. I added some chili as I enjoy savory foods. I also really liked Miso Soup a lot. Homemade applesauce. My surgeon described full liquids as those which would slide off a plate turned on its side. Thinned out cooked Cereal with maple Syrup. Yogurt, etc. Hopefully they will have a whole list for you when you go in for your checkup! Good luck with everything and enjoy a nice quiet weekend with plenty of walking.

You can take any kind of chunky Soup and purée it. Add canned chicken for more Protein. Once puréed its smooth and tasty!

I was banded Monday too. I also feel full after only 1/2 a shake . Are we supposed to drink whole thing even if we feel full? I am not sure about that part. Any advice would be great!

I was never able to finish a whole Protein Shake. I just put it back in the frige and would wait an hour to finish it.

I have taken Tomato Soup and thinned it out with Water. Then I have put taco seasoning in it, and then some fat free sour cream... I love Mexican food, and this has definitely helped me crave it less!! It's really cheap, and super good. I only drank about 1/3 of a cup today, and placed the rest of it in the fridge. I imagine this $0.60 can of Tomato Soup will last me a couple more days. : D
