Feel free to call your doctor and espress your concerns and questions. They really don't mind at all -- they want us to be successful!!!!!

My doctor's recommendation was:

2 week after - liquids then

next 2 weeks - pureed food is introduced and tried

next 2 weeks - soft food is introduced and tried

next 2 weeks - solids food is introduced and tried

Good luck!

My post-op is 3 weeks modified liquids, 3 weeks mushies. I'm on my last week of liquids. Modified liquids consists of broth, creamed Soups, cottage cheese, yogurt etc., anything that will go through a straw. I did add in some mashed potato and squash. I'm doing fine with both.

My doctor had me

1 day Clear Liquids before surgery.

7 days of modified liquids <meaning all clear plus CIB, creamed Soups, cream of wheat>

I just started today on mushies! I just had a very small bit of egg just to see how it reacts with me... lol It was weird to chew foods again!

All doctors are different. I am with a doctor that is the number one doctor in bariatric surgeries including lapband. Their diet has been sucessful for over a decade now.

I wish you well... and do call the doctor. It never hurts.

They gave me a list of ok foods and as long as they are ALL Liquids it looks like I'm ok. You figure if you can drink a homemade smoothie pre op w/ whey you should be okay w/ almost any kind of broth.< /p>

I was also banded 3/29 and my post-op was today. I do think April 18 is a bit long! My first fill is 5/9. I've lost 6 lbs in 6 days.

Good luck to you.

I was banded 3/29 as well. I am on pureed foods until the 29th. I feel so full when I eat, but I'm hungry and hour or 2 later. My post op is on the 12th. Reading all of these posts all doctors give such different instructions. It's hard to say what is right for everyone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
