I will have my 2 week post-op appointment in two days. How much should I be able to eat at this time? I am getting hungry. I am afraid I am eating to much?

Where you are at now, I was having 3 shakes a day and having broth, sugar free jello and popsicles. I had my postop visit at 12 days and she said I could start food that night. I started eating fish every day after that for awhile. What are you eating now?

I was allowed to move to mushies (3oz protein) on day 15 postop. Week two I was allowed 3 protein shakes a day and 3 8 oz servings of full liquid soup (tomato) and sugar free jello. I had my check in at day 12 and asked if I could move to mushies early. The answer "absolutely not!"

It's funny how doctors give different advice. My doctor just called to check on me. I am one week out from banding. He told me I could start "mushies" on Sunday. And he said this, "You can eat anything you can mash down with a fork." Ha! First thing that popped into my head was a vision of me trying to mash down a steak!! Which, of course, I won't do, but still that advice gives me a lot of leeway I think. I will have to experiment with foods though to see what I can tolerate. It sure brightened my day. And I've lost 5 lbs in the first week. So far, so good.
