  1. I was banded on October 4th and feel pretty good. Down 10 pounds already. My surgeons recommendations is liquids for 3 days, mushies for 4 days, soft foods for 3 weeks then regular food. I am on mushie, and I am supposed to only eat 1/4 cup per meal 3 times per day. From a hunger standpoint its ok, because I have not been that hungry but by my math if I eat a total of 3/4 a cup of nonfat cottage cheese per day its only 105 calories. No wonder I have lost 10 pounds. Does this sound right to you all?
  2. I'm scheduled to have my operation on October 11th. My surgens requirement for pre-surgery diet is fasting for 12 hours before the surgery, and that's it... I know other surgens have much more restrictive presurgery diets. I'd like to know what you were required to do. Thanks
