Every doctor seems to have their own little schedule.....think it's because LB is realtively new and we are still a big experiment and there is no way to know yet just what is ideal. So they just make up their own set of rules. That said....from what I have read and observed on boards, that is about average, maybe leaning to the early end of average. You'll just need to ease into it carefully and see what you can tolerate. If it seems a little painful, back off for a day or so, then try again. You'll do fine!!

I was banded the same day and my Dr. had me start on mushies today. I haven't had any problems.

I was on mushies at 7 days so I think you'll be fine. I've never had any problems. Some docs are more strict than others but I didn't even have to have preop and everything has been perfect. Congrats on your surgery.

I was told at 8 days also that I could start on mushies, and even move on to real food if I wanted to try it. I am almost 4 weeks out right now and I am eating solid foods and not having any problems. Just experiment and see what happens--you will know if you have eaten something that you are not ready for. Good luck!

I was on "whole liquids" for 5 days, then mushies, then solids. I didn't have a problem moving to more solid foods, I was hungry. ~Mandy

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
