Just wanted to reach out to the March bandsters and see what stage they were in (pre-op/post) and what eating phase. What are the staple(s) that are getting you through your current phase?

I am 2 days post op, on liquids. I am mostly eating protein shakes and water....and some strained soup on occassion. Would love some new ideas and to see what others are able to eat in their liquid phase.

well hello fellow march bandster lol. i was banded march 5th so today is my day 9. for he first 48 hours i was on clear liquids only ((water,ice chips,sugarfree popsicals,sobe life water,jello,i could have done broth but the smell made me gag lol. than on day 3 till now im eating farina cream of wheat,icepops,fat free greek yogurt and i add flavor with crystal light and it taste awsome,fat free sugarfree pudding,strained cream of soups,grits,and my protien shakes i do 2 a day. adkins dark chocolate shake(16g)protien and i split it into 2 cups and add a scoop of ISOPURE vanilla protien(25g) and 1/2 cup fat free milk and shake it up. YUMMY.. after drinking both through the day Total consumption is 450cal 1gram sugar, 5 carbs, 66 grams protien. ISOPURE also makes a clear protien in 20ounce bottle they have all diffrent flavors but i light the lemon tea and that has 40g protien. hope that help and congrats:thumbup:
