terri01956 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Hi, I am a new bandster. My surgery was 6/19/09 and I am feeling pretty good. I am glad all the insurance nonsense, tests, and surgery are behind me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thebandedgirl 0 Posted July 3, 2009 No solids yet! I get to start in a week--I'm looking forward to a small slice of really thin crust pizza I'd like to complain, but I think that my surgeon's post-op diet is a lot easier than others. I was on Clear liquids for the first 48 hours, full liquids for the next five days, and mushies for two weeks. When will you be able to start solids? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvanescenceFan 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Hey Welcome and good luck!! How much have you lost so far?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terri01956 0 Posted July 3, 2009 supposed to be Clear Liquids x2 weeks, full liquids x2 weeks, then mushies/puree but I was doing so well he moved me up to mushies early. So far I am tolerating it but have to go really slow or I get so stuffed I'm really uncomfortable on just alittle tiny amt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
