  1. The pre-op diet really was rough, but cant say I had the same issues.
  2. I agree with above. Most bands are laproscopic. Had to be a scare tactic. Stomach had strong acid in it. Two days is too long to remain recognizable. Now they may have nicked the stomach during laptop due to the food in it, then patient confirmed eating the fries and burger.
  3. Btw I hare predictive text. Mess = meds. Sorry for any confusion
  4. Dang ash, was there complications during your surgery or special circumstances? That sound pretty conservative approach.
  5. Depends on surgery and any complications. I found I felt good 6 days out, but over did it and was beat tired. I think u have to listen to your body and pocketbook. If you can afford to br off longer u might consider it.
  6. Same here. Message me. All in this together.
  7. Good ion jschlugs... way to go
  8. I had cream of asparagus and tomato. They were both good.
  9. Doctors scare people with tales of complications. I do agree the post op diet shrinks the liver by throwing the body into ketosis. But if it was really a concern for liver size I would think they would reject people over xxxxx weight. As you get larger so does the liver. I didn't stray from diet but cant blame one who did. All liquid is terrible torture.
  10. The liquid diet is worse than the fiery pits of Hades. But it is all for a noble cause. On the positive side, how much have u lost?
  11. Are you allowed creme soups yet?
  12. If will work out. The liquid diet is hell. But you will make it through. Stay positive. You have made a great change in your life.
  13. I had mine done on 8/7. I was approved to move to soft foods today. Feels like just yesterday I was on the hospital. Again good luck a lot of sunshine on the other side to look forward too.
