Hi Happy girl. I too don't want to burst your bubble, :faint: but you might want to consult with your dr on your decisions to eat cream based foods. It's my understanding that until 3 or 4 weeks post-op you are to drink liquids only and never thru a straw due to potential gas issues.

Don't get in too much of a hurry to eat what you don't have immediate adverse effects with. If you go against your Dr.'s advise the problems might arise later in the form of a slipped band or worse. Good luck to you.

Hi. First let me say CONGRATULATIONS! It sound like things are going good for you post-op. I'll be joining you in Bandland soon!

I met with my surgeon yesterday and he was saying the reason I will have to eat liquid only for the first two weeks, and mush for the two weeks after that, is because they don't want anything to get stuck in the pouch while it's healing.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Everyone's doctor is different and requires different things, lets not forget that. I am absolutely aloud Tomato Soup, cream of mushroom Soup w/o the mushrooms, broccoli soup strained, as well as pudding, yogurt, Jello, ect. the first two weeks and they gave me a straw to drink out of in recovery yesterday. I think we should all be following the advice of our own doctors during this time, but that is just my opinion.

Head huner is the worst. I know have to find new things to do with my time. I didn't realize how much time was surrounded by eating. It's the main way my husband and I socialize, so I have to get creative.
