Itz Time 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Umm, I was banded 3 days ago and I seem to be tolerating the Clear Liquids just fine. Have been told by my MD that I can start on mush. Any suggestions? And I am terribly bruised and very, very sore from the surgery. Hard for me to get up from a sitting position. Is this normal? Also, very swollen and tight in mid section. My MD told me to wear loose fitting clothes for awhile. If I had loose fitting clothes I probably wouldn't need banding in the first place! Ha-Ha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kacee 3 Posted May 27, 2007 Everyone reacts differently. I was not sore much at all. I feel today (banded the 23rd so this is 3rd day) like many people seem to feel on day 5....LITTLE pain, no stiffness, no gas. I'm living in "fat pants" (Target leggings two sizes larger than I normally take) no underware, scrub tops and no bra. I will continue to wear the fat pants at work until my belly swelling (minimal now) goes down and I can comfortably get into my elastic waist jean leggings. I got fat free cottage cheese and blended with it a green bell pepper, some onion and some avacado. YUMMMMMM!!!! Fat free pudding, sugar free Jello. You can also take cooked veggies you like and blend them in the blender till they are baby food type consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
