Giving stomach a break before revison

[Janex43 18]

Hello, I am having my revision surgery on June 12th. The past couple weeks I have been getting stuck more often and have been throwing up more than usual and with more force. I am wondering if I should just do liquids and puréed (things that will not get stuck) until my surgery to prevent things from getting worse in there. There violent throwing up/stuck spells are prob just getting things all inflamed and worse in there.I feel like I am having this surgery just in time but am afraid what the doc will find when he gets in there. I am having my surgery in Mexico with Dr. Jose Rodriguez. He placed my lap band 9 years ago so I figured he would be best to get it out. Do you guys think me sticking with liquid/ pureed food until my surgey is a good idea to give everything time to calm down in there and not cause anymore damage?

As long as you get the appropriate amount of Protein and calories that should be fine. I think it is a very good idea to avoid foods that get stuck!

Good luck!

I would do liquids for a day or 2 then mushies for a couple more. Sounds like you have swelling causing the stuck episodes. I have revision surgery scheduled for next week. My band was emptied out several months ago and I was having stuck episodes frequently shortly after I was deflated. I had to go on liquids, mushies stage and all is well now.
