I was banded on 2/17 as well. My Dr. told me to progress from Clear Liquids to full liquids to soft solids then regular diet as soon as I was comfortable. I did clear liquids only on 2/17. This included popsicles, sorbet, iced tea, and Jell-o. On 2/18, I started full liquids, including Protein Shakes, pudding and applesauce. On 2/19, I started soft solids. I had some very moist grilled chicken for lunch and chicken lo mein for dinner. Today, I'm still doing soft solids--pudding for Breakfast, pizza for lunch and some lunch meat for dinner. my Dr. Defines soft solids as anything that can be chewed to the consistency of applesauce.

Hey Guys!

I was banded on 2/17 too!!! I wish my doc would allow me to move onto mushies. Peace, I have started Soups, and the salt from them is really satisfying. Tomato, butternut squash are the two I have tried but tonight I am going to make something involving cream of chicken. I don't know if that helps at all. Good luck!

Warmest Regards,

J

Hi everyone!! I was banded on 2/17 also!! I did clear liquids for the day of surgery and the day after, couldn't and didn't want to eat/drink anything else. The third day I did all liquids but also ate some grilled fish for dinner, really soft and REALLY yummy after 3 weeks of liquids!!! (yes, I was on for 3 weeks!). Since then I've alternated soft solids with liquids, if I ate soft solids for lunch I usually wanted Soup for dinner. But both yesterday and today I've eaten solids for B, L and dinner and I feel great. Being VERY careful to stop when I'm full and only eat soft things, I'm eating 1/2 as much as I used to eat and feel VERY satisfied. My Dr wanted 2 weeks of liquids, another 2 weeks of mushies and then on to solids. I just couldn't do it, I was so weak from doing liquids for so long, my body was craving some food, so I'm being very careful but am eating again. Good luck to you all!!

Melissa

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
