I had surgery 16 days ago. Doing well on full liquids but can't wait until I can try some soft food. Why is there such conflict between doctors as to what you can eat? some say bread, rice and Pasta is off limits and others say they can if its whole wheat and brown rice. Any body tried any of these things? Im glad I stumbled on this site.

Glida, welcome! We are all so different but similar. There are a lot of inconsistancies among phyisicans, I figure it is from there personal experience and what has worked with their patients. I do not consider any food off limits, just some foods are easier to eat than others. Some common themes seem to be trouble with chicken, scrabbled eggs, bread products, Pasta and rice.Some of us over time have learned to eat very small portions of these foods if they are cooked a certain way. if you have questions please ask those of us who have been doing this process for a while and have been successful are willing to help if need.

Enjoy the beginning of your new life with lapband.

      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.
