How Long R U On Liquids After Band Removal?



Recommended Posts

When I was first banded, I may have lost more weight if I had remained on liquids a little longer. But I was ready to eat soft foods and advanced to eating any and everything I wanted in no time. Looking back on things, It was at that stage that I lost the most weight. For those of you that had to wait before getting sleeved, How long did you stay on liquids after band removal?

When I had my band removed I wasn't required to be on liquids. My surgeon just told me to take it easy with eating and go slow.

I had my band removed 6 weeks ago. There was a lot of scar tissue around the esophagus and upper stomach. I had symptoms of end stage achalasia, verified by manometry. The achalasia symptoms have resolved after removal. I was on a soft diet for 4 weeks post op because of the tissue being so damaged. I'm fine now, but because of the damage I cannot revise.

The sleeve is so bad! I wish they would pull it off the market and not offer it.

The "sleeve" isn't a product...

Sherry, That's great. If my Dr. doesn't recommend it, I will be asking him about doing the same. Thanks

Hi, Sorry about all the problems, I'm sure we all have had our issues with the band. How have you been doing with your weight?

Yes lol I meant the band. I got sleeved 7-17 so I have sleeve on my mind. Yes the frigging lap band. The worst invention ever!!!

I agree. Nobody could convince me of that at first when I wanted it so badly. I wish I had listened.

Me too! Hated my band. I am convinced that thing would've eventually killed me.

I just had mine removed last month and I was told I could have gone right into solids within a few days. I decided to take it a little slow though and actually did liquids for about a week and a half. I just got sleeved about 2 weeks ago and have been on liquids and have lost 17 pounds so far. Getting ready to go into my puree stage in a couple days, can't wait cause my body is telling me I'm ready :) Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
