post op food question

[KJN 0]

I am a week away from being banded, and 1 week into the 2 week Protein Shake phase. I am wondering what foods/liquids to have on hand after my September 2 banding.

It all depends on your surgeon. Each surgeon seems to have his/her own "rules" as to what you can or cannot have.

During the liquid stage after being banded, I was allowed to have broth, Protein shakes, thinned cream of wheat Cereal made with skim milk, yogurt, cream Soups made with skim milk and ran through a blender, sugar-free Jello, sugar-free popsicles, sugar-free puddings, sugar-free koolaid, and 100% fruit juices.
