Why don't you call your surgeon and tell him how you feel? even if he's too busy you might talk to some assistant or a nurse who might guide you better through this stage than any of us will. Everybody here has a different post-op diet but I guess you'll just have to follow what your doc tells you, after all, you came all this way and took this major step to change your life, so he's the one you've trusted already for having this band, isn't he?

hang in there. there will be difficult times along this journey but we have to live one day at a time.

Julie, I have asked repeatedly that you stop writing what people can do with their diets., I'm asking again. You don't know what their diet should be, you are NOT their surgeon and neither am I. My doc would not have had me on mushies in two weeks, and I could NOT have cream Soups just because I was "starving" and wanted them.
It is irresponsible to continue to post that people can have cream soups whenever they want and to say that they "should be moving to mushies within two weeks." Maybe their surgeon has them on them in three days, maybe it is a month, unless they say, we shouldn't tell them what is okay.

Hear hear! Repeatedly telling people to go against their docs advice is just not wise.

Instead of telling people we know better than their docs we should be giving them tips on how to get through clears/full liquids pain free. Telling them to go against their doc's diet is just plain wrong.
