*Alli* 0 Posted February 29, 2012 I was banded Feb 24th and I started that day on Protein Shakes. I was told I could add fruit into them but I like my shakes the way they are. I think the key is just make sure u put it all in a blender to get it mixed up really well. I am also on full liquids until Friday and I get to go to soft foods! I did start yogurt and oatmeal a little early because I was starving! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidib 15 Posted February 29, 2012 Hi N3, CONGRATS! You should just call doc office and ask because ALL docs are different with what they want u to eat when. I did shakes first wk but was NOT told to add any fruit. call! good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sophiamckenna 11 Posted February 29, 2012 Everyone's pre op and post op diets seem to be slightly different... I would check with ur doc. I get to have Soup Jello and anything that will go through a strainer this week and starting Friday I get anything soft, of course I'm not blending crap, I will be steaming and blending mostly fruits and veggies. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
