Confused about the post op diet

[boricuanessa 0]

I will be banded on the 25th and cannot for the life of me remember what exactly are the amounts I am supposed to have on the post op diet. I know that it is Clear Liquids for the first few days and then I move on to a regular liquid diet, but I dont know the amounts that I am supposed to have of each item (ex: juice, broth, jello). Also, I have been doing the 2 week liquid diet and am not sure if I should be drinking a Protein Shake already or do I leave that for Stage 2 of my post op diet. Any help is truly appreciated!

Because every Dr recommends something different for their patients, I'd recommend you call your surgeons office and get clarification on what they want you to be doing pre and post op.

Good luck!

I agree with Mellie, give your surgeon's office a call to be sure.

I was not given specific amounts for my post-op. Just days on each type of food. I could have as much as I needed/wanted, and was moved along based on how I was doing.
