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!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
