It all depends on your dr./nut they should give you a list of what you can have and when. I am on a clear liquid diet the first week and then full liquid the second week and so on. I know some one on here who was on real food the second week. So all dr.'s are different in there requirements. If they did not tell you then I'd ask them. It can mess up the recovery of the band if you do it wrong. Good luck

My surgeon said first week liquids, second mushy foods, then third "real" food. Hopefully your doctor gave you instructions too. Good luck!

You need to look at the post op diet your doctor laid out for you. Every doctor is different so you need to follow the directions of your doctor, not what anyone in these forums did.

If you don't have the post op diet info, call his office first thing tomorrow

Amen missy! I was banded on 5/14 and my My doc has me on a soft diet. High Protein Shakes, smoothies, puréed foods, etc. Every doc is different.

my doctor believes in a longer road to recovery. I was on a liquid diet for 2 full weeks after surgery. That included sf Jello and popsicles, Protein shakes, Water, and beef and chicken broth. After that I was on mush for 2 weeks, which included egg white, cottage cheese, yogurt, thin sliced deli meats, cooked veggies... Basically anything I could turn into a mush in my mouth by chewing.

After that, I was back to real foods

Welcome, feel free to start your own thread that way you can get more attention. Your surgeon should have covered trapped gas with you. I know it sounds crazy and you're in pain, but the next day after surgery you really need to start walking, 30 min a day at least. This is what gets the gas out. The day after my surgery, I was up and about doing laps in my living room while watching tv and sipping Protein shakes. I would rest for a couple hours and break down my walk into 10 minute stints.

Good luck

My dr was the same way! 2wks "straw diet" (if you can eat it through a straw its ok to have, but no staws! Lol then 2wks soft and the 5th week was normal. With my fills its 2days straw diet, 2 days mushy, and the 5th day is back to normal.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
