I know that allot of doctors have a special diet for post op Patients but I may have either been asleep or something but I do not remember what can I eat and what can I not eat I am tired of mashed potatoes and Jell-O.

I am worried because I do not want to mess this up after all I have been through to get here could I get some info from all you out there.:biggrin:

I was banded Dec 15th and I'm on regular foods now.

You should realy contact your nutritionist or medical team to see what is best for you.

Check out the Dec Bandsters under 2009/December we have a thread there

also under Community/Social Groups/Dec Bandsters we have a thread on what folks are eating

I'm eating a lot of the small tuna cans with wheat crackers (5 crackers)

limiting Protein drinks to no more than 2 per day

Soups

scrambled eggs with laughing cow cheese

thinly sliced ham

popsicles

greek yogurt with honey

grilled chicken and veggies

I keep total food under 3 ozs per meal

I agree with previous post.....you need to contact the nutritionist and get the information you need. You can't possibly be getting enough Protein from mashed potatoes and Jello. I received detailed instructions to follow in my pre-op classes that included what to eat, how much, how often, and how many grams of protein, fat and calories per day. If you didn't get this information pre-op then call nutritionist or surgeon's office. Good luck!
