Banded 3.27.09 Question about food



Recommended Posts

I was bended yesterday. Today very sore and some gas but i am trying to be as active as possible. I have several different directions about what to eat but nothing says how much of what i should eat. What and how much did you eat the first two weeks after?

I also blended anything I wanted to have like i'll have a chicken noodle soup blended. after the 3rd week I was on soilds. regular food. Hope this helps

What did your doc's directions say to do? For about 99% of us, we are NOT to eat, but rather have liquids only. You need to follow your surgeon's directions.

I was told the first week on liquids to sip about 6ounces every hour. But I would be on the phone with your Dr., these are things they should of educated you on before your surgery. Good Luck in your Journey!:tongue_smilie:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
