Full Liquid stage

[willzk3 6]

Hello, I'm new here and I decided to make a new thread (: I'd like to begin with the fact that I was banded October 4th, 2013 ( yes 3 days ago) I started my "Full Liquid" phase today. I am SO thrilled to finally be having something other than Jello, chicken broth and Water. All I've had today was tuna fish and mayo ( blended together) and don't worry I made it VERY mushy. I took my time and had little bites and chewed. That was around 11am and its almost 4pm and I AM STILL FULL. I love this! I love having Portion Control and not eating as much as I used to. I can't wait to see what the lapband has in store for me.

Hi Willzk3

I was banded on Monday the 4th (November) Just a few days ago. I move to tuna on Monday and I am thrilled to have meat again LOL. I feel full with just my mushies. I had no pre-op diet and could only tolerate full liquids the first couple of days but as healing has started mushies have been good. How is your progress going now?

congrats on your surgery, but unless your dr okay'd the (mushy tuna/mayo) and its on your go to list, you should remain on liquids as liquids mean liquids....just go slow, be careful...allow your insides to heal and 3 days post op, you are still very swollen..having a band is a great thing...good job

I was banded on November 4, 2013 too. My doctor recommends liquids (broths, gatorade, Water, Protein drinks, popsicles) for first 2 weeks. This week, the Protein Drinks have been making me nauseated, even just the smell of them. I tried Ensure High Protein Plus and the first couple were ok, then they also started to make me nauseated. Today for the first time I was actually hungry. I made myself some cream of chicken Soup, and I feel so guilty. I just didn't think I could stomach another cup of broth. Next week (Monday) , I go on the cream Soups, puddings, etc. Mushies come week 4. I am only a couple of days away from being allowed the cream Soups, so I hope I haven't hurt myself. In desperate need of some support from someone who is going through or been through the same thing.
