Sometimes I feel so STUPID!!!! I have been on full liquids now since Friday (yeaterday) my docs instructions say to AVOID: soups, yogurts, oatmeal, grits, etc. (I have pureed some soup and eaten Cream of Wheat)

OK, now what can I have besides protein drinks?

Can I get some soft food and puree it??

I start soft foods on the 17th.

Thanks for everyones help!!

First off congrats on the surgery . Second off if your doc says to AVOID certain foods AVOID them. The post op diet is not for weight loss its to allow your stomach to heal so that you can form scar tissue around your band , its ESSENTIAL for the longevity of your band. Its not a suggestion its a MUST .

Now that being said ...I would call him if your unsure of what you can and cant eat and ask ! Dont guess. Some docs allow some things others do not . For me Full liquids was anything the consitancy you could suck through a straw ( but dont )

so things like spaghetti sauce, soup. BUT You have to ask if your not sure. Ask them for alits of DO"s and DONT's.

Good luck you can make it !!!
