Hello everyone :) ...So I'm just wondering what everyones post op diet looked like? I was told to do 2 weeks liquids after surgery...then mushies at 3 weeks...and then solids a week before my fill...so far I have stayed true to most of this. Im almost at week three and Im pretty much doing full foods now. I went to see my dad who lives about 3 hours from me and wasnt very prepared for my stay so ended up eating regular food. But I stuck to all protein. Like when they have speghetti with meatballs I had one (semi large) meatball. I also had some scrambled eggs...chicken breast...cottage cheese...and soups...today I had some shrimp and scallops for dinner and a peice of chicken breast from mcdonalds for lunch. Everything is going down good. (there is nothing in my band) and the only time I feel any restriction at all is on the morning. I hope I didnt ruin anything for myself my starting full foods early but I did and its actually seemed to help me with my weight loss.... I was stuck at a loss of about 20lbs for about a week and after coming back from my dads I thought for sure I gained weight but I was actually down a total of 24lbs now. :D

 

Im able to sleep on my sides again and the pain is very minimal at this point. I am feeling MUCH better going into my 3rd week post op. Good luck everyone! And if anyone knows...Why does every surgeon have a different pre and post op diet regime??

You didn't ruin anything for yourself. My doctor advanced my diet fairly fast.. I was eating solid foods by the end of the second week. He let me advance as I could tolerate it and I did fine. I'm at six months post op now and have lost more than 85 pounds, so I'm fairly sure I didn't screw anything up by doing that! Don't worry!

I don't understand why your surgeon would schedule for a fill when you are doing so well? My surgeon only does it if you are having trouble losing weight. I am 5 1/2 months pot-op and down 91 pounds so I haven't had one ever nor will I need one I guess. My target is only 10 pounds away and I will be done at 6 months! Come see me at my outside blog:

Thanks Mickp24, I think that you are right in some ways. I really want a fill though becuase for the last week I've hardly lost anything and Im starving. I feel like I could eat a buffet if I wanted to. So for me I would just like to have some sense of fullness and not be so hungry :D

Sarah, sounds like we have the same doctor. I am on my second week post op and on a full liquid diet. I have been very strict with myself although sometimes I want to cheat; I'm very scared to do so. I won't be having any regular foods until my fourth week. Thanksgiving is coming up and well I'll be having pudding while everyone else is having their nice dinner place. I've lost 15lbs since November 14th was on 7 days of clear liquids, thank God those days went by pretty quick... how are you doing so far?
