You might want to try something warm, sometimes that seems more filling to me. I drank warm broth, and warm decaf, flavored teas. The first weeks following banding are difficult for most of us it seems. It is hard not having food. But it is VERY important to follow your Dr.'s orders, and allow yourself to heal.
Get some different flavored broths, some ice pops (SF), juices (watch the sugar content), several different flavors, and just cautiously drink them, and hang in there. It will pass...while it seems it is lasting forever, soon it will all be behind you, and you will be thrilled, as you will likely lose weight quite well during this stage...although not all do. When you feel like you can't do it any longer pop in here, and get some support!!! We are all here, either in the same boat, headed that way, or remember being there!!!
I too tried the frappucino recipe...mmm, I love anything toffee or caramel!
I began freezing DH's left over coffee. And rather than brew a special pot of strong coffee, and then adding plain ice cubes, I just added more of the regular strength ones. He likes them too!!! No more pouring out the left over coffee he doesn't drink in the morning!!!
