Hi everyone. I had surgery 9/4 and I am doing good. No nausea or vomiting. The gas pains are more or less gone after day 6. I had my 1st followup last Friday and the doctor is allowing me to move up to soft foods. I was on a liquid diet day 1 to 5, the mushies for 2 weeks, then soft food for another 2 (I believe). Starting this Friday, I can eat anything.

Has anyone been able to move on to regular foods this fast?

I wish. I'm so sick to death of mushies already i could SCREAM. I want to go back to that atkins type preop diet but can't really have chicken or fish yet. And to be honest the thought of eating pureed baby-food consistency fish makes me want to PB or something. Ewww!

lucky you!

My post op diet was 3 days clear 4-8 days full liquid, 9-16 days soft food..then on the 16th day normal food. good luck on your journey

I had surgery 9/3, did clears day 1&2, liquids day 3,4,5, mushies day 6-13, and on day 14 I can have a regular diet.

Hi bloom. I was banded on the 4th as well. Lucky for me, I didn't have the dreadful gas pains.

I was on full liquids the day after surgery for a week. I'm on mushies for two weeks, and then on week four, I start real foods.

I see my doctor tomorrow for my follow-up exam.

I am glad that everyone is doing okay. Kis I guess you are like me with the gas. I had some but not serious pains like everyone else but I am glad that I knew what to expect from the people on this site. It's better to prepare for it and not have it than to not know anything and to think your dying ha.

Congrats everyone
