So my Dr. puts me on a liquid diet for 6 days. I've attached a image of what he tells us to do. Now normally I just do the first day of Clear liquids then basically shorten each step by a day. What are ya'lls thoughts on this and what do ya'll do after getting filled. Also he told me to never chew gum after the surgery and I have not since my surgery date almost 3 years ago. Is that true?

Yea, I've been on liquids all day yesterday and today. Ready for some mushies!

So I had my 4th fill yesterday morning. My doctor recommends his patients to go on a 6-day liquid post diet. What are ya'lls thoughts on this? What does everyonese doctors suggest?

thanks I think its just a trial and error thing with soft foods. Boy does it suck though when it hurts.

I had my surgery on August 17th and lately as I'm progressing to soft foods and even mushy I get this feeling in my chest maybe like the food getting stuck maybe? I'm not sure what that the stuck feeling feels like? It hurts pretty bad and feels like I'm going to throw up. It could happen on my first bite so it's not when Im getting full. Ive tried taking smaller bites and chewing much much more. Still happens. Any advise?

I was banded August 17th. This is week 3, mushes. When I went to the doctors Monday they said theres not really a requirement for the steps from liquid/mushy/soft/hard. He said everyones different. Try mushy for a day or two and if you can handle well try some soft foods, if you can't hold it down or it feels weird shift to more mushy foods. I was surprised when he told me this.

Congrats I was banded August 17th. Enjoy your new life style!

Makes sense..Thank you for the info!

Im right there next to you. Chinese has been my fav. my entire life, I look forward to eating it again just a small portion instead =). I haven't read any restrictions about eating it.

Alrighty I have a question that my nutrionist said during the pre-surgery meeting about our post diet. I didn't think about asking the question WHY! During weeks 5-7 when I can eat Soft Foods I'm not to Drink 1hr Prior to eating, nor 2hrs after eating. Example. 7am-Drink 8am-Eat 10-am Drink again Please help me understand why I'm doing this again lol. I understand no drinking while I eat.

Congrats! I'm still gonna be nervous going into my first fill lol. I'm on 2 weeks post surgery though got a while.

One of my cut's that had liquid stitches on it had a small blood bubble under it which now popped. Whats a good thing to clean the bloody area with? They told me not to put any soap/creams on the areas for a while.

What do ya'll think about Pure Protein during my 2 week post surgery. It has 1g of Sugar and 120 calories. Wondering if this would be a safe protein drink?

I was banded this Tuesday, this morning I woke up and noticed when I bend over or move a certain way, my left side where the port is has like pulling very painful feeling. Does this seem to be what you are feeling as well?

Congrats!! I was banded yesterday at home today feeling the good ole gas pains. Good luck to you and I hope your recovery is painless.
