I haven't had a problem at all with those Soups they seem to go down really well.I haven't been a guts and have only had about 4 table spoons at any one time.They are tasty and any little bits that are a little thick I have just really quash in my mouth.Ski yogurts are good too.low fat .I tried Asain Soup sweet corn and chicken but that I thought isn't quiet right as the corn is still whole and a little tough.So give it a wide birth in your first week.Campbells is the brand I think fro the Asain soups very tasty most likely good for a couple of weeks time.

you know in the next few weeks have what you like as by the time I was banded I had had just about every takeaway and was so over food it has done me some good.My girlfriend cried straight after having her band as you will find every 2nd advert is for take away and every3rd for some sort of diet.By the time you have have this done you will be so over all that crap and onto a new style of life.One which you know one day you will be

slimmer and more confident of yourself.

Hi - good luck with your band. I had mine put in on Tuesday morning and have the most dreadful wind. I'm sure I drank my Soup too quick. Otherwise, the stay in hospital was great and got to compare war wounds with the lady in the next bed, who had her's in just before me.

I'm getting sick of jelly, but at least I can get my teeth into it!!
