HI Ashley, I was confused also, i was banded on 4/26 so your on full liquids. so what I did was get some Protein Drinks, make sure of the sugar and calorie,fat content is low and protien is high. drink those for your meals and also u can add some cream Soups. (not chunky soups). The drs office told me not to worry so much about restricting yourself but to make sure you get what your body needs to heal, which is Protein and vit C and lots of fluids

Do a web search for full liquid diet. That will give you ideas. On a liquid diet, the hospital won't remove liquids from your tray.

Well I was on Clear Liquids for 7 days. If you are alowed full liquids here is what my doctor ordered: smooth Soup like Tomato or squash (not blended chicken noodle); half hour later a Protein Shake (low fat/carb, Protein around 25 g in powder) made with fat free milk. As long as you are only doing 3 Soups a day and 3 shakes I would'nt consider it grazing. Also remember to measure out 1 cup of soup; coffee mugs are much more than 8 oz.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
