I'm 5 days post op. Everything is going pretty good. I may have overdone it yesterday, and that could be the problem. Today, I feel really weak. I'm trying to choke down yogurt this am. (Absolutely HATE Yogurt!). Did I just overdo it, or do I need to progress to full liquids?:eek:

Thanks Jack. I think I get it. (Did the research) Still working on the yogurt (YUCK!!!) Then I think I'll have a little nap.

Im 4 days post op and im sooooooooo weak too.. im not allowed to have yogurt... Im on a 59 calorie a day diet... just 3 tablespoons of protien drink, broth,jello... i get that 3 times a day... for 7 days... I wish i could have yogurt... i feel awful!! My incisions feel GREATTT!! I just wish i did!

Wow, I was banded June 30th and could have all Clear Liquids I wanted. sugar free popscicles were great. What about Protein drinks? GNC and other places have this whey Bullett that isn't much volume but has lots of protein. You need more protein sounds like. Hang in there it will get better.

I had some slimfast, and stretched out for a few minutes, and I feel better. Still think I overdid it yesterday.

It's very confusing to me the differences between all the pre and post-op diet information I see. I did clear liquids (by choice) until today.

My doctor's week one list is: Choose bland, soft, and liquid food. Clear fruit juices and broth, Gelatin, yogurt, and low-calorie, skim milk, non-fat pudding, non-carbonated drinks. Creamy Soups if very watery.

Week two: Vegatables and fruits, mashed of pureed. Other soft foods like oatmeal and other Cereal products (grains), cream of wheat, and wheat toast. ottage cheese, creamy soups, sugar-free pudding.

I was banded 0n 7/15/08 and my restrictions are about the same as yours. Today is beginning of week 2 for me. I feel pretty good but I'm kind of nervous about going to thicker foods. I tried cream of wheat last night, that was very good. I am suppose to get my first fill at two weeks post-op. Good luck to you! Constantly sipping on liquids has helped me with my strength and sugarfree pudding pops are wonderful!

I was banded on 7/15/08 and I now can tolerate 8 glasses of water a day and more stuff. like today was my first try at yogurt (4 oz Dannon Light and Fit) and it went great. I can tell I have no restriction. I went to my 1 week post opt appt today and they said no fills until 6 weeks because my stomach is still healing. Wish I could have a fill at the 2 week point! I'm weak, but I figured that was because of not having 8 full glasses of water a day up to this point and I started my period today.

It looks like depending on the doctor, diets, post-op visits and fills differ considerably. I got banded on 7/16 and started feeling really weak and tired yesterday (thought I'd pass out every other minute and really scared myself on the road). Once I got home and ate some sauteed tofu, I felt better (probably ate too much). I am feeling a bit weak today too but not as much as yesterday. My post op diet was 24-48 hours liquids then mushy food for a week; then soft foods for the next 3 weeks (no meat except fish). I don't have any pain and my incisions are healing (self-dissolving sutures). I'm supposed to call Dr. Spivak's office around the 4th week to schedule my first fill if I need it and I wish I could get it now because I am STARVING.
