Here is mine:

Day of Surgery and day after - Clear liquids

First 2 weeks - Full Liquids (High Protein shakes, yogurt, milk, pudding, custard, strained Soup, Cream of wheat, grits, Cream of Rice, tomato juice)

Weeks 3 & 4 - Soft foods (cottage cheese, eggs, canned chicken, tuna, or turkey, shaved deli meats, soft Beans, oatmeal, mashed or boiled potatoes with no skins, canned fruit, well-cooked tender vegetables.

Week 5 - Solid foods :behindsofa: regular textured introducing one new food at a time and monitor tolerance.

I wish I had made this decision earlier. I am so excited, my date is next Tuesday the 17th!!!

I too am on clear liquids. This is what I usually have everyday & lots of Water. The days I don't drink enough water my loss is less. My Dr. also has me on 9 different Vitamin suppliments. I have only been able to take 4 of them so far b/c I couldn't find the other 5 in the form that I need them.

I am on day 6 of clear liquids and I feel like licking a cheeseburger. It's dreadful.

San Diego ,I got off the clear liquids on week 2. I started protein shakes,fat free jello puddings,and applesauce.I had to because i was out of energy and starved. I can see why you are upset,i have lost 23lbs since being banded on 05/29/2008.
