To "eat" or not to "eat"?

[deleteme 176]

So I do not feel hungry in the least. I am now 24 hours with no food. I've been sipping Water, but wondering if I should make myself drink some other liquids?

maybe some broth or Protein?

Your profile says you just had surgery today? If that's the case, you shouldn't be eating at all, just sipping whatever liquids your doctor approves.

If you can only sip Water right now I wouldn't worry about it. Your biggest concern is to stay to hydrated right after surgery. So, keep sipping lots of Water. Your appetite will come back soon then you can move onto whatever other liquids your doctor approves.

Best wishes.

My Doctor sent me home from the hospital with Isopure to drink it is a clear Protein drink. So, you may want to check with your Dr. like mis73 said. He may want some Protein in that liquid. Good luck

Mis73 - they told me to drink/eat Clear Liquids for the first 48 hours. And not have anything cold for the first 3-4 weeks. So my smoothie Protein shake will now have to be warm. Yuck! Haha!

Eeewww...I'm not even gonna lie, a warm Protein Drink sounds icky lol.

Hang in there, remember this is just a tiny little bump in the road. You'll be past this phase and onto actual food again before you know it!

How about a warm chocolate shake? I have had them before and they kinda taste like hot chocolate.

The last thing you want to do now that you are banded is dehydrate. LOTS AND LOTS OF FLUIDS

I am trying to get as many fluids in as possible! Now that my bladder seems to be on par again, this should be easier!!
