First day on Mushy

I am in my third week after banding. I mixed tomatoes and pinto Beans in the magic bullet. It was delicious

I was banded on the 2nd, so 9 days post-op and am actually trying to make the liquid thing as fun as possible. I went shopping and bought lots of different choices that would work including several different kinds of sugar free popsicles. I transitioned into the drinkable yogurt on day 7 and today had Tomato Soup (Glorious!) for lunch. I have been cooking off and on for my daughter and my boyfriend, and actually enjoyed the social aspect of that. I also went and talked to a pharmacist and he recommended a Vitamin supplement that I can drink, as I'm trying to ward off an evil things like Hair loss (Yikes!). I've been able to control the gas for the most part with GasX strips. I guess I'm not as young as I used to be because I'm not bouncing back like I did when I was younger and had my gallbladder out. So...does anyone have a list of any other possible ugly side effects other than hair loss?
