[tremily 0]

I was banded on last Friday, Nov.30, 2007. Is broth, coffee,water,jello,and popsicles all that you can eat. What about juices?

I believe juices should be okay.

I was band a couple days before you and finally had a juice yesterday. Tasted yummy, wish I had thought of having some sooner. Go ahead and have some, just take it slow - juice is on my doc's list of 'clear' liquids.

Enjoy!

I thought I heard the surgeon say avoid juices as you can easily add calories...to sub for crystal light

I'm in n.y my doctor said as long as the juice is sugarfree it's ok and no soda, I drink crystal lite all the time, so i'm good with that, my second appt. is on tuesday, I think I would have had my surgery by now, but my primery Doc wrote the letter of approvel wrong, so I had to get another appt,

When you are originally banded now is the time to heal. The weight loss really starts when you start to get fills. I would go on Amazon.com and search there for a good book.
