Oops

I was banded 4 days ago on the 10th I was in the hosipitol for 3 days on liquid diet and they released me didn't really tell me what not to eat just take it easy. I ate a chicken breast and some potatoes yesterday I made sure to chew 20 times until it was small and soft, but after reading the forums here it looks like eating right now is bad. I hope this hasn't affected my band I was kinda upset that I could eat as much as a did on my fourth day. I had my band done in Bahrain it was cheap after all was said and done it was $6,200 had a private room and 3 days stay 24 hour coverage. The doctor didnt explain how much the fills are anyone know normal price? The doctor told me he wouldn't do a fill for about 2 months out so I guess I better wait. I noticed that if I drink Water when I eat I fill up but if I don't I can eat a lot, Soups fill me up on the other hand while I can eat chicken potatoes just fine, shrug maybe im just weird.

You don't have any fill yet, so you will be able to eat anything, but you shouldn't. You need to let your band heal up properly and you don't want your stomach churning. Call you doctor's office and ask what he wants you to be eating. Every doctor has different orders, so don't go by what you read here, just call and check with him. Good Luck, and welcome to bandland~

Welcome to bandland...I agree with Betty...check with your doctor and see what you are supposed to be eating or not eating...I was on two weeks of liquid after surgery, then one week of pureed food, then one week soft food, i.e. scambled eggs, soft casseroles, creamed potatoes..then last week advanced to solid foods...
