I was banded on 10/1, and the first night I couldn't keep any of the food that the hospital gave me down . but after that first day I have been able to keep everything down. I am following the post op diet, strictly liquids. my question is once I hit the 1 week post op mark should I move ontoto the mushie phase?

It depends on your doctors orders. Every doctor has different post op diets and it is important to follow your doctors orders. Call your doctor if you are unsure. Take care.

All docs are different. I couldn't do mashies until after 2 weeks

The above ladies are right, every doctor is different and has different ideas what works. You should've received a post op diet plan from your doctor. Either pull it out and have a look or call and find out.

Just FYI, I was on liquids for 4 weeks post surgery.

what do your dr's instructons say?

its best to do what your surgeon recommends.

(you may read on here that its okay) but id def would suggest not since you were banded 3 days ago

no need to rush, you need to heal.

please check with your doc and nutritionist! they are all soooo different

this is a great forum but, we do not have all the answers! you need to get a good relationship going with your docs.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
