I'm so relieved to read this I'm thinking I'm 2weeks post op can eat nearly anything and more than my half cup no restriction no blockages no vomiting an I'm thinking my dietician would have a fit. I'm not worries bout the weight as yet mainly the healing right now but was thinking this is weird lolol

The pre op diet is so strick so as to reduce fluid and fat off of your liver as they have to lift it when they are trying to get at the stomach. Only if you have not followed the whole way through like someone my doc operated on will the liver be bulky and tear. If you've been good all way through you will be fine. I thought my money wasn't coming through an my surg would be cancelled again as day before surg. So thought I'm having dinner chicken roast veg gravy. Then I ended up sorting money an had anyway. Point being I done all the hard work. Lost ten kg before the liver was obviously a it should be had the surg he wouldn't have done it otherwise. So relax.

Awesome job tina

Hi Mara my dr didn't give a specific weight loss amount but I lost 10kg. The idea he said was to reduce fluid and fat off the liver so they can lift it during surgery without it breaking or tearing.

Miss manders I was under the impression wen getting hungry means the swelling near band going down and u can start introducing pureed foods in day 7 an already started couldn't wait took it real easy st first yoghurt mash potato an gravy really runny now have g pured spaghetti some baby foods just for portion control and consistency of food. I have felt everything has gone down ok no vomiting etc I've been lucky.

Hey nechama22 I'm supposed to have three protein shakes as they aid healing but I'm starting to have some purred meat as in spaghetti and I've even grabbed some baby food in squeeze tubes so as to get the right consistency at the moment. I've had banana an custard mashed and some cottage cheese. But yeah like you say not long after and hungry again. But it's nice to have some semi normal food again!!!

I think early days after op gas can cause pain an problems. Not sure about later.

Well done to you all waiting or whi has been banded so exciting. Let your journey begin!!!?

Excellent I'll join up lol
