Hi, I am just 2 days out from being banded.

I had Clear Liquids one day and the 2nd day

I am having full liquids.< /p>

I found cream of chicken and mushroom.

It is so yummy. Of course anything would

taste good after being on the pre-op diet I

had.

I seem to be able to take larger drinks of

Water than some people are posting.

I called in and the nurse said that is good.

I am not sure what that means, is it good

that I can take larger drinks?

Anyway, I am measuring out 1/2 cup and

using a baby spoon and fill full with this amount.

Since I am still on liquids, I am feeling hungry

about 2 hours later.

I see the doctor March 13th and hope to

get on mushies then.

I am on liquid Lortab, which does take the

pain away. The only pain I feel are the incisions.

Had my surgery on March 3rd, Tuesday. Yesterday I was having pity parties, but today, I am feeling a lot better. I don't think that I am getting the correct foods/liquids. i have a Protein Shake, but i dont really enjoy drinking it. I drink 2-3 a day, about 6 -8 ounces each time. I have made pudding and Jello, but not sugar free. I keep stricktly Kosher, and some items are not readily availiable. (like sugar free pudding, jello or popsickles.) I can' wait to get past these weeks of not being able to eat real food. This is a huge challange in my life!!! A lot of my daily events are circled around food. glad to be part of this group

Good luck to both of you, it sounds like you are on your way!! My surgery is Weds, the 11th. Im so looking forward to it! My co-worker was like you before her first fill. She said she could REALLY tell the difference after the first time and nervous transitioning to more solid food. Please let us know how it its for you.:confused:

Hi, I was also banded on the 5th. Things went better than I expected. I am on mostly Clear Liquids with 3 Optifasts a day and sf puddings. I have some gas pressure, but it is not horrible. I have been taking Tylenol with codeine for pain. I have tried to cut back today. I had a pedi on SAturday and totally enjoyed the massaging chair. I have a follow up appointment with the Dr. tomorrow and plan to go to work on Tuesday. Joann

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
