You could very well do a great deal of damage and end up with a slipped band. Don't do it.

I looked at your other posts and most of them have centered around not being able to handle the pre-op diet or gaining weight post op. You really should call your Dr.'s office on monday and go in there and have a frank conversation with someone. The band is a tool that really does take a great of work to make it succeed. They need to give you more support to help you through this (as will this board).

But if you are thinking of eating 2 days after your surgery then you are headed for trouble. Best of luck to you.

Well I never did the liquid stage and went straight on to pureed food and that was ok, but I dont think your stomach would like to go to work so soon after surgery on normal food. It would probably do it some damage.

Glad to hear it was just a question that your husband asked. There are too many stories on this board of people not doing what their Dr advised and then ending up in real trouble. Don't worry about the weight gain after surgery as that is very common due to Water retention. If you follow the plan it will disapear just like the rest of you. Many people don't even begin to lose weight until after their first fill. I managed to stay steady for the first month and got huge congradulations from my Dr.

Good luck to you.

Personally, I think I would have been sick to my stomach if I ate something two days after surgery. I was barely able to sip Water.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
