Hello and good for you... glad to feel someone is in the same boat as me.. :-) have you started walking or anything yet? I just today feel good enough to get up from sitting down and feel like I can move around a little but of course it is raining like crazy outside... Yes my schedule is as follows. Day 1 they only had me on clear liquid day 1 post operatively 28-32 oz the first day Days 2-8 they have me 56 oz clear liquids 50 grams protein (through five 8oz of high protein low sugar beverage) Days 9-16 liquid milk products and smooth foods 56oz clear liquids 50 grams protein four 8 oz protein and one of either yogurt/sugar free pudding or creamed soup and one either applesauce/mashed potator or puree vegetable soup Days 17-31 three small meals and 3-4 snacks of diced pureed ground sofe cooked food with still 56oz of clear fluid and 50 grams of protein Day 32 - stage 5 low fat solids... Everyone has such different schedules it gets me nervous that I am doing something wrong. lol... I know I am fine but I would think everyone would be the same up until stage 5 when they decide on the caloric intake...

I just got banded on June 20th.. I am feel pretty good and it is only Monday =D> How was everyone's first week after surgery did you have a hard time drinking the protein & fluids consistenly... my dietition has me pretty much having something every hour and I can not come close to that.. how was your experience for the first week? Thanks look forward to hearing from you..
