I would think you shouldn't be "eating" quite yet, I was banded on 2/5 and am STILL on full liquids (cream Soup, Protein shake, etc).

What kind of post op diet does your surgeon recommend?

Sorryyes liquids

Liquids broth Jello protien drinks

Ok, the first few days (maybe 4 or 5 days) after surgery, I would sip just a little bit of liquid, and it would feel like I swallowed a golf ball. I just had to sip very slowly, wait several minutes, and sip a little more. It does get better, I can now drink pretty normally, and I'm doing well on the full liquids. Hang in there, it does get better!

Oh thank you and the vomiting (have not in 24 hours) will pass to Please Lord.Thank you again You have made me feel better

Yes..I was only able to get down 1 oz an hour at first. Very small amounts of any liquid. I wasn't hungry at all, but did try to get in the Water.< /p>

Call your doctor and see if you can get something for the nausea if you still have it. There are several options out there for nausea, and there's no reason to have to live with it. (((hugs))) You'll get through this!!

The feeling is normal Shelley, your stomach is swollen and you have a whole heap of restriction. Focus on the Water. Sip sip sip so you don't get dehydrated. Once the swelling subsides your gonna feel right as rain. In fact, your almost gonna wish the golfball feeling would come back. I'm 9 days post op and I feel like I could eat a whopper jr right now no problem. Of course, I'm not going to. I'm begrudgingly eating cream of broccoli instead.

Relief is on the way!
