I'm being banded Friday, my 2 week post op diet according to my surgeon is "anything you can get thru a straw" First I thought, okay, but now I'm thinking what the heck is that? I would like to get prepared so I'm all set after surgery. Can anyone give me some ideas? Of coarse there is soups, protein drinks, and broth, but what else should I stock up on? Thanks!

Go up top to the FAQ's. There is a posting on there with the best list you could ask for.

Hi there,

Here is my list of things I stocked up on prior to surgery:

• Sugar-free/fat free pre-made pudding cups
  
• Non-fat dry milk (to add to the pudding/milk for extra protein)
  
• LOTS of Organic skim milk (smile)
  
• Sugar-free applesauce
  
• Canned tomato and chicken noodle Soup
  
• EAS/AdvantEDGE Carb Control shakes - these are YUMMY and have the lowest calorie/highest Protein of any pre-made shake
  
• Carnation Instant Breakfast ready-to-drink shakes
  
• Crystal light drink mix
  
• Tropicana sugar free lemonade and orange drink in 2-liter bottles
  
• Nestle Quick Sugar Free chocolate mix for milk

I wish you the best of luck to you! You will do GREAT!
