I would call the number on your release instructions, you don't want to get dehydrated. I would start drinking Water. Hope you are feeling well otherwise.

I'm day 5 postop, still on liquids and my instructions say liquids for another week, then puree... it is interesting how the instructions vary post and preop. I'm just ready for mushy, soft food...

I am on day 4 postop and have had a few cravings, but, I do not want to get sick. I still have the traveling gas that moves about inside my chest cavity and causes me to stop what I'm doing until it subsides, so painful. I have been drinking lots of Water, no sugar tea, sf popcicles, sf jello.... I would love to have something like really mush soft refried Beans, or mushy something.... but according to my instructions I still have a week to go on liquids. Honestly, not sure if I can make it another week without something mushy..... suggestions?? Please and thank you!

Tomorrow is my day to be banded!!! Any words of wisdom or advice from those of you who are already banded?
Thanks!!!!

Good Luck and keep us updated!! I am banded tomorrow morning and looking forward to the new journey.

I am getting banded tomorrow, from what I have read you won't feel very restricted until after your first fill. But sticking to the liquid diet and following the postop diet instructions is probably best.
Good Luck in your journey!

I am expecting to feel like I did after having my gallbadder removed. The doctor told me that was a good comparison.

Today is day 7 of the preop diet, we had a family reunion yesterday and I did eat 2 meatballs and a tablespoon of hashbrown casserole. Up until then I had been sticking to the strict diet. I felt a bit guilty even though the portions were so small, but boy did it taste good. The scales show that I have lost 5 pounds so far so that is great motivation. Back on track for me, it hasn't been easy but the band is a tool and will keep me accountable.

Must be healing up nicely if its itchy.... how is the pain on day #5?
-
It is amazing the different pre-op diet variations, I think it just depends on each facility and doctor.

i would love to have some bacon....lol... I am on day 4 preop and feeling very proud of myself so far!!!It looks like I lucked out- my dr. has me on the Atkins diet (which I've done a few times), so it's been pretty easy. My mind is playing tricks on me and telling me I'm starving tho- gotta work on the mind control. Most if the time it's just thirst disguised as hunger anyways right? 4lbs down in 3 days eating bacon and pork rinds- something isn't right about that but I'll take it! Surgery on 10/26- soooo nervous!!

I go on November 5th....

Good to hear all is going to well so far!! I hope I don't have much of the gas pains... I had my gallbladder out in 2002 and didn't experience much gas discomfort. Please keep us updated!! This is a great forum, each time I start feeling hungry on my pre-op diet, I login and become inspired!!!!

That is fabulous!!!! Great Job!! Yes, do share what a typical day of eating would be for you.
