Was banded 4 days ago and just ate 2 grilled chicken fingers and 1/4 cup of green beans and it went great!

You were just banded 4 days ago and are already eating chicken and green beans? Didn't your doctor put you on a post op diet?

I was scolded by other peeps about this already for taking some small bites of things I should have not. B careful ask your doc or nutritionist bout a post op diet. I had to do 1 week of liquid, 1 week of blended n 1 week of soft, all post op oh ya n pre op was 2 weeks of liquid. I started my week 4 post op on Wed. And was just approved for reg food.

Careful you don't tear your stitches around the band. If you do with the weight of SIDS your band can slip or flip!

Not wise to be on solid food so fast. You need to let the surgery area heal.

I smell a troll.

My doc said it was fine. I was on a 14 day pre op diet and he said 4 days post op I could eat grilled chicken and green beans. Maybe tomorriw I'll eat mushy food just to be safe.

Well your doctor knows best so if he gave the ok, enjoy

well if that is what your dr said

guess that is what matters

mine didnt say for me to eat chicken 4 days out..if he did, id be too scared and also couldnt have ate that much anyhow..oh well, amazing how different dr's and people following (instructions) are

Four days out, no way I could have eaten solids, was still too swollen and had no appetite for food till a good few weeks. I wasn't allowed to start solids till my third week and going by others on the forum that was much earlier than their instructions but I was still extremely careful and didn't really have solids till closer to four weeks.

We all have to bear in mind everyone is different, all I read on here pre my surgery was how the pain was hardly anything at all and that it took weeks to feel hungry for me the pain was incredibly intense and by day 8 post op I was talking to my clinics dietitian about moving to pureed foods and based on what I read here I felt guilty and like something must be wrong with my band that I was handling pureed foods so well so early, as long as u get the advice from ur dr or dietitian don't take into account other people's experiences as it only makes u feel as though u are doing something wrong and the fact is we all recover differently
