i was wonder what everyone had when they went on there full liquid diet. saturday is when i can start that stage, and i cant wait. not sure what im going to have first but it sure isn't going to be broth.:smile2: hahahahaha

Hi Jason,

Every doctor and hospital are different. I had the clear liquid diet only for the day before I was banded. Then when I got home the next day, I could have any liquid including thin low-fat milkshakes. To be honest, I couldn't have eaten that the first day. I had Water, ice, and Vitamin water on the way home. Then I had a High Protien Slim fast before I went to bed. It took me almost an hour to drink most of the can of Slim Fast. I am up to about 3 cans of protien drinks a day with water and flavored water in between. I tried to drink a thin milk shake yesterday because we were out and about getting some stuff done and I only got 1/4 to 1/3 of it down before my stomach said it was enough. I am really trying to listen to my body and I am not trying to push the limit on what I can eat.

What I mean by that is that some people try everything just to see if the new stomach can handle it and I think it messes them up. I want my new stomach to STAY my NEW stomach so I am not pushing it. Today is 1 week for me and I haven't weighed this morning but I know that I have lost over 10 lbs and I have only had one really weak feeling day. The key for me is getting my Vitamins and enough protien. Hope that helps!

I did find a packaged Chinese Sweet and Sour Soup last. I made it without the egg and strained out the onions and stuff after it was cooked and I really enjoyed it.

thanks!

im on day 3 now and can go to full liquids in the morning. i have been doing what they told me. but i will say yesterday was hard. i had to much sugar free Jello and it really does hurt. i think i ate about 4oz of it. im looking forward to the full liquids to have something then Water,juice,jello, and etc..

im like you i dont want to over do it. i like my new stomach and i want to keep it tha way.

i havent weighted since i been home. i think im going to wait until the next support meeting. one thing is im a big guy and i dont have a scale that goes up that high.

JASON, how are you doing now??!!
