Hello to all. My husband was just banded on June 2nd. So he is in his full liquid post op- week 2 He is handling Soups, puddings, Jello and yogurt and Protein shakes well. He is noticing now that the swelling of his stomach has gone down some, that he is feeling hungry more often. He doesn't go to have his first band fill until 5 weeks from now. He is doing an ok job of following the full liquid stage. He ate part of a soft pretzel and said it felt ok, what other foods have you had problems with sticking? Our nutritionist told us to stay away from popcorn and nuts, and fruits and veggies later on with skins and corn because it can cause the band to slip etc.? Thanks for your help. We want to adhere to the nutristionist, but he is getting bored fast and I don't want him to hurt himself. confused in jersey Sincerely Lisa

My husband just had his surgery, he is 4 days post op so he is still on clear liquids until everything heals up inside. He loves corn and from what I hear it can obstruct the band along with some other foods, we are going by what the nutritionist is telling us. I don't want to tell him he can't have something if he really can try it, but at the same time I don't want him to injure himself or the band either. Lisa
