. . . my tumbly! 2 days post op. Just giving an update! Haven't experienced the intense pain that a lot of people mentioned. Mostly bloated tummy and incision pain. Haven't had a lot of trouble drinking water but can't mentally stomach anything else! I tried to eat Jello last night and broth today. Ich! Can't do it. May get better in a few days. Otherwise not so bad. Just resting a lot and trying to heal. Good luck to everyone and best wishes to all the new banders out there.

I have that rumbling feeling a lot also, and I was banded on the 11th as well. Are you drinking other things now? I'm living on lots of protein shakes and crystal light - 2 ounces at a time. Jello isn't in my allowed list of things to do... and turns out most broth is pretty icky, But, if you can get pho broth from a Vietnamese restaurant, it's delicious!

I got the band on 12 th. I can do jello. Slow. N runny mashed taters made with chicken broth. It's good

Me too

Do u want to track progress n ideas together. I'm looking for some support n info if anyone interested.

I can do cream of wheat, sf pudding, it's not on the list but I did runny mashed potatoes, homemade soup and yogurt. I was banded on 9/11 and have my post op apt on wednesday.so far per my scale I've lost another 3 lbs making the total 14 lbs.

Very good. Mine was the 12th nky fav is cream of chicken right now. Hen are you going to try solids? I was thinking next Saturday I would try a moist meat. Thoughts?

When are you going to try soles, lie moist protein? Mine was onthe12th. I'm thinking next Saturday.

Sorry iPad typing, my ad. Solid foods. Like moist. Is what I meant

I'm post op day 2 and have been good with sf jello and sf Popsicles. For broth I've been draining chicken noodle soup and drinking the broth off that and it's actually good.

I just started transitioning from mushies. I tried shaved (as thin as they could slice it) smoked turkey from the deli. Then, I cut it into small pieces. No problem. Then, I tried ham the same way. I got sick almost immediately. So, I'm sticking to the nice, moist turkey. Tuna goes down easily for me, too.

Has anyone done frozen yogurt soft post op?

Frozen yogart feels so good. I eat it all the time especially now I'm too tight so i just eat frozen yogart, yogart, pudding, and a small can of tuna and about 45 mins

I was banded on 9/13 and I am sooooo over jello water and broth...is there anything at all that I can eat??

I'm eating creamy mashed potatoes made with chicken

broth watered down no lumps. It's so good. No milk or butter but added garlic powder. Also can cream of chicken Soup watered again with chicken broth. I bought at Walmart in baby section a package of hard plastic baby spoons. 10 for two bucks n put them in dishwasher fine. Also am snacking on sf Jello pudding, choc n vanilla. Hope that helps.

Live today like there is no tomorrow!

I think I will try the mash taters tomorrow. Thank u!!!
