Ms.Hotbody 0 Posted August 23, 2008 I am 8 days post banding and a bit at a loss of what to do. I start blended food diet today. Any suggestions for basic, simple things to start with? I had my surgery with Kane Surgical Center in Illinois-Dr. Jonathan Wallace. It went well with some gas but no too bad. Right now I am trying to figure out how to live life from this point on. Any one have some encouragement for a newbie? Where to start, what to read, what to expect? This is the first time I've ever been on a forum or in a chat room. Can you help?

Ms.Hotbody 0 Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks Mike...I haven't tried the baby food idea. I'm assuming that this will get easier as I go forward. Can you tell me the best way to utilize this forum? Is it good to be on at certain times? Are there certain forums to check regularly? I'm really a novice at this and I appreciate the help! Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littlebit181818 0 Posted August 23, 2008 The first thing to do is look at the list your doctor or nutritionist gave you and follow it to the letter. I was allowed soft foods only, yogurt, cottage cheese, Carnation Instant Breakfast, eggs, tofu and refried Beans. Remember this is to let your band heal and prevent future problems so it is extremely important you take it easy on what you eat. I am not one to ask for help but ended up calling the nutritionist twice for advice. Better safe than sorry. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GOODBODY 0 Posted September 4, 2008 Hey Ms. Hotbody I had my surgery 8/13/08 at the Kane Center (Dr. Rantis). While I was preparing to leave the hospital after my night's stay, my husband & I met a young woman and her mother who had just had surgery and was hoping to go home that same day; instead of spending the night in the hospital. I told her about this site. I was just wondering if that person is you and if so - how it's going. Either way be blessed in that new Hotbody (love the name). GOODBODY OUT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
