Feel free to call your doctor and espress your concerns and questions. They really don't mind at all -- they want us to be successful!!!!!

My doctor's recommendation was:

2 week after - liquids then

next 2 weeks - pureed food is introduced and tried

next 2 weeks - soft food is introduced and tried

next 2 weeks - solids food is introduced and tried

Good luck!

My post-op is 3 weeks modified liquids, 3 weeks mushies. I'm on my last week of liquids. Modified liquids consists of broth, creamed Soups, cottage cheese, yogurt etc., anything that will go through a straw. I did add in some mashed potato and squash. I'm doing fine with both.

My first fill is scheduled for 6 weeks after surgery. Strained Soups counts as full liquids as part of my post op.

My doctor had me

1 day Clear Liquids before surgery.

7 days of modified liquids <meaning all clear plus CIB, creamed Soups, cream of wheat>

I just started today on mushies! I just had a very small bit of egg just to see how it reacts with me... lol It was weird to chew foods again!

All doctors are different. I am with a doctor that is the number one doctor in bariatric surgeries including lapband. Their diet has been sucessful for over a decade now.

I wish you well... and do call the doctor. It never hurts.

They gave me a list of ok foods and as long as they are ALL Liquids it looks like I'm ok. You figure if you can drink a homemade smoothie pre op w/ whey you should be okay w/ almost any kind of broth.< /p>

I was also banded 3/29 and my post-op was today. I do think April 18 is a bit long! My first fill is 5/9. I've lost 6 lbs in 6 days.

Good luck to you.

I was banded 3/29 as well. I am on pureed foods until the 29th. I feel so full when I eat, but I'm hungry and hour or 2 later. My post op is on the 12th. Reading all of these posts all doctors give such different instructions. It's hard to say what is right for everyone.

Yes, call your doctor. By the time I was at 3 weeks I was on mushy, heading to solids. Good luck!
