Congratulations

You are at the beginning of an exciting time!

Hope you got some guidelines. Sipping a Protein shake when the doc oks it.....? That seems to be common first liquids..with as much Water as you can drink.

My 2cents is this can truly change your life, but You need to commit.

You can go slow and remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. You have plenty of time to learn to eat differently. Just chewing more (protein)and eating slowly can help a lot.

There is a nice group of banded vets around this site..with good advice;

there are plenty of nay Sayers too.

Best of luck and keep posting!

I was banded this morning I'm pretty sure he did not fill mine yet with anything but my hunger has disappeared. I have had 2 sugar free Popsicles all day. Is there anything else you all can recommend that I can eat or drink?

Hello. I got my band yesterday. I cooked beef and chicken broth before that. I like them a lot, especially, beef. Also I drink Crystals, teas, coffee and eat sugar free Jell-o.

My nausea is so bad and I can't get any fluids down quick enough to stay hydrated. I spent the day after surgery In the ER. It's not looking good today either. I have resorted to drinking Pedia lite for baby's just to try to stay hydrated enough to avoid the Er again today ughhh.

I was told to drink clear drinks for 3 days after surgery.

Yes the Pedia lite is clear. Which is all I have had except for maybe 3 sips of Protein shake because my hunger was back with a vengeance. He allowed me to have the slim fast even though I can't get any where with it lol. I gave up on it hours ago and have been strictly Pedia lite the rest of the time. Even a few sips are keeping me hydrated but I can't shake this nausea and the meds he gave me for is doing nothing and if anything makes it worse where my stomach is empty.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
