2 days out

[Ready to Lose 0]

Had band placed Monday.

Today is Wednesday. How much should I be taking in? Just getting a little confused. Any responses would be helpful

I really wouldn't worry a lot about amount right now. Just textures, make sure you are following your doctor's eating plan.

Above all follow your surgeon/nutritionist's advice.

From my own non-expert opinion, I would say be sure you are taking in plenty of Water. Beyond that don't worry to much at this point. If you are up for it at all drink some broth, eat some popsicles and Jello if you can/want to.

Over the next day or two try to incorporate some Protein shakes, and possibly some liquid Vitamins.

But again, try to stick with the plan your surgeon provided for you.

These folks are right. Focus on healing. Just don't eat until "stuffed". Otherwise, it's important to make sure you're getting enough nutrition right now so that things can heal properly. Let us know how you're doing!

Sip throughout the day you and will be fine. As long as you are getting in some Protein and liquids throughout the day.

My doc told me to get in as much as I could and not to worry about loss. It's more important to heal quickly and correctly than it is to lose weight at this point. Get that Protein in!
