I was SOOOO bad with my post-op diet. I know some people will read this and think I'm some horrible person for not following the diet to a t... but I just couldn't do it. I was supposed to be on Clear liquids for a week, then full liquids for a week, then mushies for like 2 weeks I think. I started eating mushies like a week in. I really just couldn't take it. I started solids too soon too.

I don't recommend it. I suggest that you stick it out at much as you can. Because I did that I didn't lose any weight until after a fill or two.

But honestly, I didn't have any problems with my band from it or anything. I honestly think that being 21 I healed faster and it just wasn't a huge deal. Just be careful and watch it because you want to keep losing weight. It got beyond frustrating for me...

Good luck

Thanks for posting this, I am 4 days out of surgery and I am STARVING...last night I would've killed somebody for a spoonful of Peanut Butter or oatmeal or just anything that isn't a clear liquid. I'm tired all the time and have no energy and its making me cranky.

How are you guys doing your Protein shakes?
