I just had my surgery yesterday and seem to be doing fine. It was out patient surgery so I am home. I talked to the drs. office about what I should be eating/drinking. They told me only clear liquids for the next 2 days. At room temp. Tea/Crystal Lite, broth none of that is good at room temp. Could some of you tell me what you did for the first couple of days following surgery? Thanks Peachie

I also had my surgery yesterday. I am on clear liquids and it is ok wil me. there is no reason for me to rush what the doc says. thursday I can have protein shakes and other things. Good luck

My doctor had me on liquids, then mushies then solids. My first few months was a slow process because I didn't have good restriction until 6 months out. Just take it easy, heal and wait for fills. Good luck.

i had my surgery yesterday too, also outpatient. i'm drinking room temp gatorade, Water and chicken broth. not tasty, but it'll do. it's just a few days until full liquids - you can do it!

I too was banded yesterday (12-11) I have been drinking water and apple juice so far today. I am going to try a protein drink tomorrow and see if I can get that down. It has been taking forever for me to get a glass down today, but have managed to drink 32 oz of water and 6 oz of juice. The only pain I have seems to be from the surgical gas that I feel in my left collarbone area. Good Luck!

I was banded Tuesday (12/11). Right now I am only drinking Crystal light and lightly warmed beef broth. But I am totally sore. Hope it gets better soon

Mine was yesterday, too. I feel very sore. I was hoping to return to work today, obviously a crazy thought. I still need to take out the pain buster catheter. I am a bit scared of being off that pain med...
