Yes. You should tell your surgeon. In fact, we (my surgeon's patients) weren't to have ANY Protein during week one. It is dangerous to eat "food" (no matter how thinned) early. Please call your doc, tell him/her what you've done so he can decide if you're probably ok or no, and take his direction. Don't feel bad; we all get hungry (or we wouldn't be here!) but you must follow the post op insttructions to ensure healing etc. (and guess what, most of us don't like the broth and Protein Shakes either. It's just for a short while! :thumbup: )

I have not been banded yet but I do think it's to early to eat those things. My PA's and the dietician said we are only suppose to eat broth and jello's and popcicles. You should follow the directions your doctor gave you for best results. Good luck to you,:thumbup:

I'm suppose to still be on a liquid diet but cannot tolerate the taste of slim fast. I have been eating watered down oatmeal and skim milk mashed potatoes (Liquid practically). Does anyone think this is to soon?

My surgeon requires a full liquid diet for 14 days after surgery which includes:

Blue Bunny Lite 85 smoothies

Dannon Lite smoothies

Strained, Thinned Cream Soups,Tomato Soup and Broths

100% fruit Juices

No Sugar Added Carnation Instant Breakfast

Jello

Popsicles

Hot chocolate

Protein Water

Tea

coffee

Atkins Advantage

Slim Fast(low carb)

Its a good idea to always check with your surgeon, he may require a clear liquid diet, some do.

      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.
