Wow! I cant believe it has already been almost 2 weeks. It has been really easy so far. No gas pain, no real pain from surgery at all. I have lost about 35lbs since the preop diet that started on January 10th. Im going to list a typical day of my foods. Please give me your opinions below on whether or not it is similar to what you can eat or if its more or less,or if Im eating the right types of meals and Snacks. Any input would be awesome.

Breakfast. Protein shake

Mid Morning - sugar free Yogurt or a scrambled egg

lunch 1/2 can or so of soup(usually campbells chunky type)

Mid Afternoon - small cup applesauce

dinner More Soup or turkey chili

snack sugar free pudding cup(occasional)

50-64oz of Water per day.

Your opinions would be appreicated!

Sounds great to me. You're doing a really good job! Congratulations.

Aren't you and I lucky to be in the "hardly any pain" club of bandsters?

I still eat llots of soup at six months. My doctor sort of frowned and wants me to eat more stick to the ribs food. I love my soup though!

I feel like at 2 weeks out you are making great choices. I was eating about 2 sf popsicles a day too (40 calories). My favorite is banana still.

Keep up the good work.

Remember help your band with exercise . I waited 1 week to start walking slowly. I still never exercise fast .

So glad to hear about your recent success and relatively problem-free recovery. It's very encouraging for those of us who haven't gone under the knife yet.

I will be 2 weeks post op on wed. and have been unsure if I am getting enough liquids. I think I am going to copy your day and see if I have more energy. I am drinking about 3oz of yogart for breakfast, 4ozsoup for lunch and 4 oz of soup for dinner and water or tea in between.
