Hi! 
Yeah, I'm getting banded in 2 1/2 weeks.  I made my surgery date way in advance...so when it was time to start the 3 weeks I had an extra 4 lbs to more to take off.   
I managed to take off the first 4 lbs during the work week, but the weekend is HARD!  It's hard to do 2 shakes and a Lean Cuisine when the fridge is so accessible.  Today, I had 1 shake for breakfast, one chicken soft taco for lunch and a bowl of chicken noodle soup for dinner.  Calorically it came to about 900 cals, while during the week with the shakes I was getting in about 650-700. 
I'm gonna have to try some of that Benefiber.  Thanks for suggesting it.
