Postop x 1 week
today is 1 week I had sugery: down 7 more
=22lbs down since Feb 23rd!!!!
I am sort of passing the full liquids, well sort of...i am able to eat egg salad now..i was starving n needed food not liquid...
I am wondering if it is ok to b eating softs now instead of in a week? if i can tolerate it, cant i move ahead??
By the way, I love egg salad, but haven't been able to tolerate it now. It makes me very bloated and uncomfortable

Did you try cream soups for something more filling? Or sugar free jello? I ate alot of sugar free popsicles to help me through the liquid phase.
Good luck!
Just adding my two cents.. I was realize banded March 8...and have a littlle stapled booklet that the Nutrionist gave me.. which is helping a ton.... (I don't mind emailing it to you, it might help??)
I also was told liquids for 2.5 weeks then mushy/soft food for almost 3 weeks, then finally I will get solids.. I am following the diet to a T.. I am lucky if I have any odd ball questions about nutrition, I am able to email my nutritionist and she emails me back within a few hours..
I did the cream soups and diet jello as well.. and the popsicles helped me as well.. cheating wasn't an option.. I didn't want something to slip, or for something to get stuck.. I was told vomiting is the worse thing early on with the Band.
Hang in there, it DOES get easier, I am due for my first fill April 26th, I can't wait!!
Best of luck,

When do you have a follow-up appt. with your doctor? I would not move on to soft foods without consulting them first.
