And lots more to go. I was dong great on the Hydrocodone, but decided to quit them after 2 days. Possibly a mistake on my part. No where as bad as I imagined it would be, but did you all have absolutely no appetite? I am managing to eat/drink whats required, but really dont want to. Patiently waiting for the 14 days till mushytime!!!

Hey dave and welcome.

I had one week of liquids.one week of mushie and friday starts my soft foods.

Dave01 · September 6, 2007

Thats quick. I will have 2 weeks each of liquids and mushies, then soft stuff for a week. The good thing is I have no appetite yet, so the liquids are no problem

Don't you love having no appetite? My Dr. is liberal, so I was only on liquids for 2 days and mushies for another 4 days. But my apetite came back as soon as I got on mushies.....

I do love the no appetite, but was wondering if it was normal. Before getting the band on, I would have been raiding the refridge looking for snack stuff. My doctor is more strict, with 2 weeks of each liquid/muchy/soft/REAL food LOL

Lucky you. I have three weeks straight liquides. Two week mushy. At week 6 I can slowely begin to introduce regular foods. My Dr. is preety strickt, but has an awesome success record. It's tought, but I'm certain that I won't do any damage by going slow. Good luck to you and welcome to the BANDWAGON!

My doctor at NWWLS is using a "new" band--and the protocols for it are different than what I was initially told. With this new band, I'll be on 1 week of liquids, 1 week of mushies and then on to solids. I'll find out more at my pre-op on 9/10.
