everyone is different and what worked for me by my dr may not work for you as

i was on 2 weeks liquids after surgery.....then it was mushy (used my vitamixer alot) and then a week soft....did your dr or nutritionist give you handouts of foods to eat?

[noopslovesyuu 6]

Yes but it just tells me what type of food to eat not the specific foods.

Like it says "week one pureed foods" but it doesnt give me examples of food. So far today i had chicken broth and a Jello. Later im planning on having no sugar Tomato Soup with light cheese and a sugar free pudding at night.

being so newly banded you are bound to be swollen.....so please eat (if you are) slowly, sip sip sip and preferably nothing with substance...you dont want to eat before you should..id say applesauce consistency or watery oatmeal

hang in there.......an if in doubt, always call your dr to confirm as they would know best

3 days post op too and my doc ok'd SF puddings and cream Soups. Also cream of wheat (watery), Protein shakes and SF carnation instant breakfasts. I are some cream of broccoli Soup, puréed so it was completely smooth and ate less than half of a cup.

I have my follow up on Thursday and he mentioned ok'ing mushy foods then. Good luck

[noopslovesyuu 6]

Thank you very much my follow up is thursday as well with dr. Lehmann from silver cross hospital. Also, have u lost any weight? I havent and its worrying me. Also many Soups and puddings have carbs, have you been okay with the carbs?

[nicolemm 24]

I haven't weighed myself since Wednesday bc I know I'm bloated and swollen. I was going to wait until I felt less gassy and stuff.

I actually haven't had pudding yet, it's on my snack list for tonight just to get a little something in for bed. The broccoli Soup tonight was made in my vitamix so I wasn't worried about carbs or anything because I steamed some broccoli and added a tiny amount of sharp cheddar then skim milk and blended for 6 minutes. So I know exactly what went into it, unlike the canned Soups. So far I haven't had a problem with anything I've tried, I just feel like I'm soo full from swelling that I'm not having much of an appetite at all

Thats awesome yeah i think the best thing is making everything homemade. Also ive been feeling grumbling in my stomach but i cant tell if its gas or hunger haha but all ive had today was chicken broth, one sf Jello and 1/2cup Tomato Soup with some cheese and black pepper. Im feeling kind of hungry right now so ill probably have a popsicle. My appetite increases at night
