successawaitsme 0 Posted August 23, 2008 I was banded on 8/18 and am confused by the diet I should be on 5-6 days post op. I was given a few different things to read and they are all a little different. Doctor has not returned my phone call over weekend to clarify if i am eating correctly. I am feeling great at this point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marynascar 0 Posted August 23, 2008 Hi, I was banded on 8/19 and the nutritionist told me the following. Sip 2-4 oz clear fluids an hour getting at least 32 oz per day in. After 48 hours I was allowed to add in a Protein mix shake to get Protein in. The clear fluids consists of SF Jello, flavored Water such as fruit 2-0, ff chicken, beef or vegetable broth, SF ice pops. For me this is for the first week then on to the mushies. Hope this helps and good luck to you! Mary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtork 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Everybody seems to have different instructions from their surgeon! At that point I was on full liquids - Protein Drinks, sf jell-o, sf popsicles, juice, broth, milk. I was adding Protein to the broth and jell-o to make sure I was getting enough protein in. I was supposed to be at 60g of protein by the end of the two weeks.
