It's hard at this point in your recovery. I wouldn't sweat a few days of not getting enough Protein. Maybe 2 weeks out you can be concerned but right now just give your body what it will take. Don't force Water if you aren't thirsty. Remember, shakes are mostly fluids too.

I hope you are learning that getting stuck, sliming and vomiting are not good with the band. Continuing this could cause real problems with your band. Please learn from this and either eat smaller bites slower or get a slight unfill. It is not worth having real problems down the road.

Every surgeon is different in what he or she recommends for their patients. It is always best practice to follow what your surgeon has told you to do. I was banded on June 26th and had my first day today of mushies. I had 2 weeks of full liquid. It was rough, but I'm glad I did it. Best of luck

Oh no, take it easy. Feel better.

How far out can you eat Peanut Butter

I agree dehydration can happen fast! Always make sure you're having sufficient liquids and if you can't, you need to go to see your dr or the emergency dept immediately. It only takes a day to get dangerously dehydrated.

Hope you feel better and get to go home soon.
