Hello All~

Was recently banded on 9/20.....am to be on Liquids until Thursday. Well today I ate 4ozs. of Clam Chowder. This would still be considered liquids right? Even though its not clear.:embarassed:

Then I was wondering if this would count as a meal or just liquids.....I'm allowed to drink Slimfast shakes. Just a little CONFUSED!!!!

Are you on Clear Liquids or full liquids?? Clear liquid includes broth, Water, sugar free Jello and popsicles, etc., and full liquids starts to incorporate strained cream Soups. I was also banded on 9/20 and was eating cream Soup the very next day, as per the doctor's orders.

Honestly, you should be fine, but if you feel you did something you shouldn't have, checking with your surgeon is the best option.

Right.. strained clam chowder is liquid. But it's not a clear liquid.

Depends on what your doctor told you you cold have.

Thanks alot everyone~ I was somewhat confused because on one set of parers the Dr. indicated for me to be on "clear fluids" but then on my discharge papers it said "full liquids". Well, the clam chowder went down well...I even have some left-over for 2morrow:whoo:. I start my mushy sate on Thursday that will last for 2 weeks. Does anyone have any good recipes?

Check out the Food forum here, there are loads of good recipes for each stage.

Thanks~ will check it out

Hello everyone!

I was banded on 08/14/07 I have found that diff ppl have diff things they can and cannot tolerate after banding- if you want to add some variety to your "mushies stage" try this:

1 Box Reduced sodium chicken Stove Top Stuffing

1 oz of pureed chicken breast

add fat free chicken broth to get that "mushy" consistency

This tasted great and I stuck to the rules my nutritionist agreed so I added some cranberry applesauce just like Thanksgiving! I can eat reg foods now but I still like this one! Try it!
