Does anyone know if there is a reason for the food limits? Do they restrict us to creamy liquids to keep from damaging the band or is it because our stomachs can only handle so much without being nauseous? I have been able to eat thing a little more filling, like a small portion of hamburger helper and i am 9 days out now. I get a little more gas, but no nausea. If I have to go back to strict liquids i can, but I seem to be ok. Any input?

Today I had the chicken enchilada soup at Chili's. again, no problems with the chicken. Am I abnormal being able to stomach these things only a week after surgery?

Hi all. I was banded on Oct 11 as well. My Doctor kept me overnight also. Oddly enough, my shoulder pain started flailing up on me today. My Doctor put me on purées almost right out of the hospital. I actually tried "mushies" today. I probably shouldn't have but it went down ok and didn't make me nauseous. I had a business meeting at lunch today, and got soup, but most were loaded with bready noodles. My only other complaint is a burning feeling below the largest scar on occasion.
