Perhaps you are drinking too fast. Remember to sip your liquids, you have a tiny pouch now.

You're only 16days out so you still have to be careful. I just finished 30days of full liquids.< /p>

Like NewDawn said, try drinking slower.

Best wishes!

You're getting blisters? Where?

Why are you getting blisters on your tongue? It sounds like you may have a more serious problem other than not knowing that you should not have carbonated beverages after being banded.

Did your doctor/surgeon/nutritionist review what your post-op diet progression should be?

Call your doctor. As far as I know, no one on LBT is a medical professional. Those blisters could be from reflux, an infection, or whatever, but we can't see them and we can't diagnose the cause or prescribe the treatment.

Let us know what your doctor says, OK?

I just read this as "I'm getting blisters cuz I'm craving one" I thought that was some term I wasn't familiar with.

If you have blisters on your tongue, you need to call your Dr, pronto!

Agreed, until I saw the replies I actually glazed over that detail.

I was sondering to about the blisters...where and why?

I know I'm gonna get blasted for this, but if your doc says soda is ok, go for it. My doc says its ok to sip on, better if you let it sit for a few minutes. I drink soda (diet) almost daily, I let it sit in a cup for 10-15 minutes prior to drinking and have had NO problems for a year. I don't gulp it and I do consciously pay attention and make sure I don't feel a bloated type feeling. I know several people who do the same & have had no problems with carbonated drinks. Follow your docs instructions though...if he says yes, then enjoy....if he says no, stay away!!

Problem is, she's only been banded since Nov 2. She needs to heal a little more.

      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.
