I was allowed to have yogurt and pudding by day 5 post op and ground chicken or egg by day 7. I mixed them with a tiny amount of olive oil mayo( like chicken salad) only ate @ 1/4 cup but so good! Im 2 weeks post op as of friday and just starting regular food...so far no problems at all. Just chewing well and going slow!

I am a new bander 4/6. I have been wondering about calories...I have just started eating food and im only hitting @ 600-800 calories. I was told your body needs 1200 to be healthy but can't seem to get there. Thoughts or suggestion?
