I was banded 10/16 and was told full liquid for the first 48 hours than move into pour off the spoon. Things like pudding mixed with milk to make it runny also mashed potatoes mixed with milk as long as it pours off the spoon I fallow this diet for two weeks than move into soft food like cottage cheese tuna things like that. I bought apple sauce, pudding, and baby food. But as always do what your doctor says to do.

Good luck with your husband's new journey. The best person to ask about foods and being hungry is your husband's dietitian. Every doctor has their own rules for adding foods and when. I have a very strict doctor and I have seen on this site that some doctors allow food earlier.

​I love SF Popsicles. I buy Edy's in the fruit flavors. They have a little more calories but the taste is worth it. The box has 3 flavors and one is Kiwi.

I was allowed dairy during the liquid stage so I would add a tablespoon or two of whole cream to the broths that I was allowed. Didn't make them thick but added a richness. And I was having such small amount the calories didn't add up.

I have been trying to keep him busy, but I go back to work tomorrow so I am a little worried. I rented some movies and video games for him so hopefully he will stay busy. I keep telling him it will get easier, but I am not sure he believes me:) thanks for all the support!
