suzeeq67 23 Posted September 13, 2012 . . . my tumbly! 2 days post op. Just giving an update! Haven't experienced the intense pain that a lot of people mentioned. Mostly bloated tummy and incision pain. Haven't had a lot of trouble drinking Water but can't mentally stomach anything else! I tried to eat Jello last night and broth today. Ich! Can't do it. May get better in a few days. Otherwise not so bad. Just resting a lot and trying to heal. Good luck to everyone and best wishes to all the new banders out there.

motherlaura 6 Posted September 15, 2012 I have that rumbling feeling a lot also, and I was banded on the 11th as well. Are you drinking other things now? I'm living on lots of Protein Shakes and crystal light - 2 ounces at a time. Jello isn't in my allowed list of things to do... and turns out most broth is pretty icky, But, if you can get pho broth from a Vietnamese restaurant, it's delicious! 2 jarchuleta and Buffalogyrl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juli Salzman 41 Posted September 16, 2012 I just started transitioning from mushies. I tried shaved (as thin as they could slice it) smoked turkey from the deli. Then, I cut it into small pieces. No problem. Then, I tried ham the same way. I got sick almost immediately. So, I'm sticking to the nice, moist turkey. tuna goes down easily for me, too.

Kami172000 16 Posted September 16, 2012 Frozen yogart feels so good. I eat it all the time especially now I'm too tight so i just eat frozen yogart, yogart, pudding, and a small can of tuna and about 45 mins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banded doll 0 Posted September 16, 2012 I was banded on 9/13 and I am sooooo over Jello Water and broth...is there anything at all that I can eat?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jarchuleta 20 Posted September 16, 2012 I'm eating creamy mashed potatoes made with chicken broth watered down no lumps. It's so good. No milk or butter but added garlic powder. Also can cream of chicken Soup watered again with chicken broth. I bought at Walmart in baby section a package of hard plastic baby spoons. 10 for two bucks n put them in dishwasher fine. Also am snacking on sf Jello pudding, choc n vanilla. Hope that helps. Live today like there is no tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
