Hi, I was banded last Friday Dec 9, 2011. I have tolerated all liquids fine. No nausea or vomiting. What can I do on day 3? Any suggestions for something different? Thanks all!

First day after surgery and I'm sore. I have sneezed today and boy does that hurt too. I have been up walking around the house but thats about it. Just up and down today. Fluids have been well today. Been keeping track of my intake and output. Breakfast: 2 ounces Nectar Protein Shake 2 ounces Gelatin Drink. Then every 20 minutes eating some ice chips. Lunch: 2 ounces of Broth 2 ounces Propel Zero. More ice chips between. Dinner: 2 ounces protein drink 2 ounces Broth. More ice chips. Able to keep it all down. No nausea today. I have been voiding well too so I must be getting enough fluids. Day 2 tomorrow will probably be about the same. Going to try and include some sugar free popsicles tomorrow to change it up a bit. I got on the chat in here earlier and it was very informative. Looks like Im doing what I should be. Hoping tomorrow will be a less sore day for me. Have a great night!

No nausea or vomiting. Just real tenderness at incision sites and sneeing or coughing is painful. The gas pains are bad too. Still today having those. Each day has gotten better though.

I was banded on Friday Dec 9th too! Yay for us! I so far have tolerated liquids fine too. No nausea or anything. And seem to be tolerating 2 ounces at a time throughout the day. I also am eating ice chips. As for the blood in the nose sometimes the oxygen you got while in recovery can dry your nose and create this blood you see. I dont think there is a concern there. Good luck and lets keep in touch!

My dietician said I could get a rotisserie chicken and put it in the blender with chicken broth and make my own soup to feel a little satisfaction during the preop diet. It was wonderful! You can even add some frozen veggies in after they are cooked and blend with it too. Also in the preop diet phase you can peel a baked potato put it in the blender add some skim milk and butter and u have creamed potatoes. Very satisfying! Hope this helps!

Banded on Dec 9th. So far so good. Clear liquids today and tomorrow and so far everything is staying down. Any suggestions to mix it up a little so im not bored with the choices of liquids?? Thanks!

Day 3 and you can have chicken noodle soup already? If so Im excited! I am 1 day post op and dreading liquids only again tomorrow.

I was banded yesterday Dec 9. Im doing pretty good today.Some pain in the stomach area where the port is. I have been worried today too about getting in enough fluids. I have had for breakfast 2 ouces of nectar protein shake and 2 ounces of gelatin.(over a 25 minute period) Ice chips between meals. Lunch 2 ounces of broth and 2 ounces of propel zero again over 25 minutes or so. More ice chips and 1 ounce protien shake between too. And at supper I have plans for 2 ounces protein shake and 2 ounces of broth. I worry about calories and dont know if I should be or not. I have been urinating so I guess Im doing okay. Any suggestions??
