ktygrr 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Hi Everyone, I had my surgery on 4/25. It went very well. I am now on day 4 and I am really not that hungry. Down 7 lbs already. What do you do about headaches? Also, in the full liquid stage, Can I have anything other than Soup, or Protein Shakes? That is about all I am eating. Thanks for your thoughts! :biggrin2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hippiemama 1 Posted April 28, 2008 Your my twin! I was banded the same day I'm still on clear fluids though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foutngirl 0 Posted April 28, 2008 I had mine on 4/10. I am now on soft foods. Talk to your Dr. about what you can and can not have. When I was on full liquids I was allowed to have sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, pudding and stuff like that. Best advice I can tell you is talk to your Dr. though they will let you know if you can have anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savedbygrace 11 Posted April 28, 2008 Congrats! I am on full liquids and having broth, cream Soup, sf Jello, sf popsicles (several different brands / flavors) , flavored water and I think that's about all. I'm going to try the carnation instant Breakfast soon. I have Protein Shakes also that have 35 g of Protein and taste good. I can't drink the entire thing but I sip on it througout the day. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandy~ 2 Posted April 28, 2008 I am on day 5 post op and I can have Soups, broths, Jello, cottage cheese, milk, Protein shakes etc. However, from the second I woke up the thought of food bores me. Mentally changed me so I haven't had anything but 2o oz Protein Shakes a day and crystal light. I only drink the shakes cause I have to. I am always thirsty tho.

Julsco 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Hi Everyone. I am getting banded on 5/6/08. I am very excited to start my new life. I am also nervous. Many people seem to say that right after the surgury you are REALLY not hungry. Is that true? What kinds of food can you eat days after?? Does the love of food disappear or do you still think about "not" eating. Also, how painful was the surgury? How many days after were you able to drive? I know lots of questions!!!:confused2::confused2::confused2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktygrr 0 Posted April 29, 2008 I drove on day 4, and my surgery was not painful. I was not hungry for about 3 days. I stopped the vicadin after the 2nd day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genlady265 0 Posted April 29, 2008 My liquid stage I had Protein Drink, cream Soups and yogurt. I didn't know you could have sugar-free Jello though, I would have loved that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
