wondering?

mine is 2 weeks and I am really done with it at this point!!

Mine was also 2 weeks. It went by pretty fast!!!

Mine was 2 weeks also. I lost 18 lbs on my pre-op diet. It is really worth it. After surgery when you can't eat if you've been on your pre-op diet you are not so hungry afterwards. Plus you are ready for liquids because at first thats all you can have. Keep the faith and stick with it, it will be over before you know it. Leah

Mine is 2 weeks liquid, then 2 weeks mushy, then solids!

Only one more week of liquids to go for me!

2 weeks Clear Liquids

2 weeks full liquids

2 weeks mushies

mine was 2 and a half weeks cause my doctor was away. it does suck and when you think about the stages and the next one being pureed (if that is what your doc does) you think its so gross until you get there...then baby food seems to taste yummy!!! best of luck--hang in there!

Mine is 2 weeks and almost over! :scared2:

I just had my surgery 7/16/08 so i'm on the two week liquid also, but my information says I can have applesauce and thinned cream of wheat and soups on this phase. BTW...I'm new to this can anyone tell me how to get the weight loss ticker on my posts? Thanks

OMG, Dr. Stegemann in San Antonio puts all his patients on 6 weeks liquids...no mushies...I thought I would die, but it actually was helpful. Yes, of course I cheated...2 twice...and paid for it. Got a roll stuck and PB'ed a donut...I am a slow learner

I have 2 weeks of liquids (which will be done on Thursday - thankfully). Then I have 2 weeks of pureed foods. Then 2 weeks of soft foods and then food food. I never thought I would say this, but I'm really looking forward to the pureed stage. I'm so sick of protein shakes.

My doc does 1 week clear, 1 week full, 1 week mushies and 1 week soft. He'll change that if you are having issues but that is the general rule.

I was banded July 9th also and will get to have mushies/soft food on Wednesday Can't wait!!!

I was banded on 7/16/08 by Dr. Spivak in Houston, TX. He has 24-48 hours liquids, then 4 weeks of soft, mushy foods (no meat except fish that can be mushed into baby food consistency). I am hungry but do get full fast on very little food; then hungry again within a couple of hours.

my doc has a 3 week liquid after surg. 1 week clears 2 week full, then i can start eating mushies and solids, just make sure i try only 1 thing at a time. i tried some gyro meat and it went down good but i make sure to chew chew chew. Personally i like the liquid stage because i looooove tomato soup with blended ricotta and some hot sauce.. yummy Also tried some tunafish and it was good to.
