Banded yesterday...questions about pain.

[BonMag 1]

Pain is gone...now just contending with the 3 week liquid diet. Everything going down makes me nervous lol.

I'm on full fluids now and I wonder if a tiny piece of onion or something is going to unfurl me.

Does anyone know...for the full Fluid phase, if Soup has "bits" in it, is that going to mess my band up?

I was told by my surgeon's office that they say two weeks of liquids because they know realistically if they say two weeks, people will give it two days! And if they say two days, people will give it two hours. So- you'll be just fine if there are little tiny bits of food in your soup. As long as the food is passing through quickly without any pain or sensations of getting stuck, you're just fine with that.

Congratulations!

I wish I could believe that, Bonmag! But I'd be too paranoid to consume anything that may cause my stomach to move which may endanger the stitches!

I think I'll call the clinic on Monday and ask if I can move to puree a day early. I can't wait to eat something that's not Soup. Hehe.
