Hello everyone I was banded Feb 23 and excited about it I started out weighting 367 lbs the day of surgery I weighted 350 and yesterday I was 346 how exciting but I haven't started my protein drinks yet not sure if I'm supposed to my day I have one cup of. Broth 1 16.oz bottle of crystal light and a jello and maybe a tea that's it I didn't NW if u could have them yet with fruit please help because Thursday makes a week and I start full liquids

I was banded Feb 24th and I started that day on protein shakes. I was told I could add fruit into them but I like my shakes the way they are. I think the key is just make sure u put it all in a blender to get it mixed up really well. I am also on full liquids until Friday and I get to go to soft foods! I did start yogurt and oatmeal a little early because I was starving! Good luck!

Hi N3, CONGRATS! You should just call doc office and ask because ALL docs are different with what they want u to eat when. I did shakes first wk but was NOT told to add any fruit. call! good luck!

Ugh, banded 2/24 and can't start full liquids til Friday!!!

Everyone's pre op and post op diets seem to be slightly different... I would check with ur doc. I get to have soup jello and anything that will go through a strainer this week and starting Friday I get anything soft, of course I'm not blending crap, I will be steaming and blending mostly fruits and veggies. Good luck!
