After week 1, I was allowed small curd cottage cheese, fat-free refried Beans, light yogurt, sf Jello, sf popsicles. I only had to do that for 2 days then was able to go onto more soft foods.

Follow your doctor's guidelines, because they can vary. During the liquid phase, my doc recommended:

Carnation Instant Breakfast, juice, yogurt, pudding, malt-o-meal, instant mashed potatoes (made thin), and cream Soup (strained and made thin). Those really helped with hunger.

It is crazy how every doctor is so different. I am craving hummus right now.... can't decide if I should have some or not. I feel like I can keep asking until I get the answer I want. :rolleyes:

I had a burger and fries from Dairy Queen one week after surgery... but that certainly wasn't the greatest idea I'd ever had... :rolleyes:

I think everone of us feels like we made a mistake right after the band operation. as you start loosing more and are able to do things you couldnt because of your weight ,,,it all will be worth it.... the begining is the toughest, like everyone said all doctors are different what they say u can have.. I lived on won ton Soup just the broth no dumplings and cottage cheese whipped type...... good luck and keep thinking about how youre gonna look and feel one year from now!:rolleyes:

Hi Jodi~

I know how you feel, I was banded on October 27th and it was hard for me too. After 2 days of chicken broth I said NO WAY!! I went to a Chinese Restaraunt and order won ton Soup. I asked if I can only have the broth and nothing else. It tasted so much better. I hope this helps you~

Good Luck,

Dana

I made egg drop Soup at this point: recipe is on this website but here is a summary

Low sodium veg broth

warm up to almost boiling

drop in egg white while stirring, don't let the yolk get in there

add garlic powder, onion powder, and / or ginger powder to taste

lots of Protein and still liquid!

Blended low-cal yogurt was allowed post-op for me and I found that to be the most satisfying thing that I was permitted to have. Other options on my post-op all liquid diet were diluted clear sugar-free juices, skim milk, pureed Soups, broths, sugar-free puddings and sugar-free popcicles.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
