Congratulations

You are at the beginning of an exciting time!

Hope you got some guidelines. Sipping a Protein shake when the doc oks it.....? That seems to be common first liquids..with as much Water as you can drink.

My 2cents is this can truly change your life, but You need to commit.

You can go slow and remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. You have plenty of time to learn to eat differently. Just chewing more (protein)and eating slowly can help a lot.

There is a nice group of banded vets around this site..with good advice;

there are plenty of nay Sayers too.

Best of luck and keep posting!

I was banded this morning I'm pretty sure he did not fill mine yet with anything but my hunger has disappeared. I have had 2 sugar free Popsicles all day. Is there anything else you all can recommend that I can eat or drink?

Hello. I got my band yesterday. I cooked beef and chicken broth before that. I like them a lot, especially, beef. Also I drink Crystals, teas, coffee and eat sugar free Jell-o.

My nausea is so bad and I can't get any fluids down quick enough to stay hydrated. I spent the day after surgery In the ER. It's not looking good today either. I have resorted to drinking Pedia lite for baby's just to try to stay hydrated enough to avoid the Er again today ughhh.

I was told to drink clear drinks for 3 days after surgery.

Yes the Pedia lite is clear. Which is all I have had except for maybe 3 sips of Protein shake because my hunger was back with a vengeance. He allowed me to have the slim fast even though I can't get any where with it lol. I gave up on it hours ago and have been strictly Pedia lite the rest of the time. Even a few sips are keeping me hydrated but I can't shake this nausea and the meds he gave me for is doing nothing and if anything makes it worse where my stomach is empty.

      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.
