3 days post op I found out I had pneumonia. This has been the worst ever. In an effort to figure out why I was having chest pains, my doc drew my fluid out my band & told me to stay on clear fluids for 5 additional days. I am so ready to taste something other than water, jello & broth! 1 week post-op..what are some of the things you other bandsters tried 1 week out?

At the beginning you need to follow the doctors orders. You need to let your body/band heal. The better you let yourself heal the better you will be in the long run. I know 5 additional days sounds forever right now but it will be over soon enough and you will on your way. You should be able to eat sugar free popsicles, bullion cubes, crystal light, fuze drinks besides the broth and jello. Your doctor should have provided you with a listing of everything you are allowed..if not you should ask him or her or the nutritionist. Please take care of yourself! I wish you the very best on your journey!!

I remember those first few days felt like the longest days of my life. It also seemed that everything on TV was geared toward food. It does get over quickly and you will be able to eat "real" food again. Take care and good luck!
