Hi! I just had the lapband with plication (iBand) on October 4th, 2012. Realllllly struggling with the post-op diet. The idea of anymore liquids going in my mouth, makes me want to vomit.

Well..I gotta tell you, I was banded on this past Thursday...and I was NOT able to drink that stupid chicken broth they gave in the hospital! Actually, I was not able to eat anything except for sipping on TEA..and warm tea at that. Only a little water,...but even that began making me feel sick. I have found now that I can tolerate a Popsicle!!!! So, my hubby went out and got me two whole bags of them all flavors! My doctor wanted me on a clear liquid diet for a few days, but then, he saw that I needed more...so, in with those frozen treats I came! I am home now and doing much better. ACtually, it was all the gas in my stomach that was making me feel sick..so, when I tried to put anything in my body...it rejected it! I also tried Ocean spray mix juice. I could handle that too! I just can't eat anything way too sweet or too salty. I hope this helps! This morning, I had about a fourth of a cup of coffee with powder cream too. It went down well. Praying for you!

Talk to Carolina Girl she had the same procedure and is several months post op, she may be able to give you some pointers.

I had the same procedure in May. Does your doc have you on liquids only after surgery? I think sugar free Popsicles and fudgesicles count as liquids. I was able to have yogurt and cottage cheese after surgery. Also, runny oatmeal or cream of wheat could be good for you. Good luck!

Dana, get up and walk as often as you can and that will help get rid of the gas issue. Drink as much water as you can. Are you on protein drinks yet?

That's terrible! I'm glad you've made progress in what you're able to take in. I didn't have that problem, thankfully, but because of all the "soup", etc. 10 days prior and then trying to keep up with that afterwards...it has not been pretty. I'd rather have only protein shakes than soup! Good luck with your progression!
