What can I add to my diet at this stage other than protein shakes?

I was allowed to have runny yogurt, cream of wheat, unsweetened apple sauce.

I don't know if you are limiting carbs if those will work for you.

I have a band and don't worry about dumping

You could call your doc, but for me, "full liquids' meant anything that would go through a straw.

I didn't use a straw, but they had to be that consistency.

So, soups, thinned yogurt or pudding, applesauce and shakes.

Nothing you have to chew .....even if you chew it to 'liquid state' .... That does not count.

I emailed my dietician and am just waiting for her to reply so I can run to the store. It's 11:30 and it gets hot here in Houston so I want to get to the store asap. lol

Is the sleeve good? I'm getting ready for the sleeve and hopefully will get it around the Holidays. I'm scare,anxious and not sure what to expect.

Soups, well  thinned down were my staple. But like Kathkeb, I am banded. 

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

I would check with your surgeon or nitritionist; every doctor has his or her own preference.  Mine allowed nothing but shake and milk for a full two weeks!
