liquids you can have after being banded. I am on Clear Liquids,popsicles and broth only. I don't see the Dr. until Thursday. But I am so hungry that I want to lick my daughters food! How awful does that sound! Just a lick thats all. Did anyone else feel like this? :leaving: I called my nutritionist and she was out but the receptionist at the Dr.s office told me absolutly NO protien shakes yet. I had one last night because I had the shakes and was week. I won't be able to last the 2 weeks on this stuff only. Any suggestions?

Yes every doctor is different, I do find it a little surprising how much variance there is in their guidelines. I was banded on the 15th and for my first week I can have anything I can drink through a straw, including Carnation Instant Breakfast and creamed Soups -- just no chunks. If it's a Soup with anything in it, it has to be strained. I think the creamy soups and Instant Breakfast have really helped me deal with hunger.... clear liquids would be pretty hard, I admit.

But that being said, I think you have to follow the advice of your own doctor. Maybe give him a call and ask him if you can move on to creamy soups?
