BOB052212 22 Posted May 26, 2012 I was banded on May 22, 2012. My Dr. has me on clears but said I could try mushies a few days early if my body would tolerate them. I have tried cream of wheat, and mashed potatoes and am pleased that I have restriction already! I am a Band over bypass patient, not sure if thats the reason but regardless restriction without a fill has me very excited, and has reinforced my belief that the b.o.b. Was the right decision for me! Current Weight 265... Goal 175...Im on my way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted May 26, 2012 You may have restriction simply because of the swelling. Most of us realize some sort of restriction right after surgery and usually within 2 weeks the swelling goes down and then it's bandster hell for a few weeks/months. X your fingers and hope you're one of the few lucky ones who needs no fills? tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
