Blew it with the post-op diet... :(

[parisluver 1]

My intention was good...I just realized too late that it was wrong. Hopefully I did not cause any damage. I guess I could of screwed up more and had a whole meal or something because I feel like I COULD. Obviously, I won't though.

Another question: I am able to drink fluids (Water and Protein shakes, etc) just as quick as I could pre-band. Should this be a concern? Or is it OK and just a reflection of me NOT having real restriction?

I was banded yesterday. I am on full liquids for two weeks.

Here is a sampling of what I can eat right now ==

Light yogurt

Cream of Wheat

low fat fat free cream/strained Soups (I like split pea with no ham)

sugar free pudding

sugar free Jello

Protein Shakes

sugar free cool whip

sugar free popsicles

skim or soy milk

I had a little yogurt when I got home from surgery last night

This morning I had 1/4 cup yogurt and a few tablespoons of creme of wheat. for lunch I had 1/4 cup split pea Soup. Of course Water, and a muscle milk light Protein Drink.

So I am able to eat and trying to keep up without getting hungry. I'm belching quite a bit and can certainly tell there is something going on as I can't eat or drink that much at a time.

Hope this list helps. I was also told if it can go through a straw you can have it post-op.

Good luck!

since i opened up my personal blender, i've been blending everything. i just blended up some progresso santa fe chicken Soup stuff and added in some of my unflavored Protein mix. the Soups seem to fill me up good. =)

How do those progresso soups taste?

the progresso Soups are good! at least i think so. i was always a fan of them before the band so no reason to change that after. just knowing i can blend one up and "drink" it, is a very comforting thought when i've been all Protein Shakes and Water for days and days. lol
