I just got banded 08/23/10. I'm on day 7 of my post op diet. I have been going nonstop for the last two days (using the treadmill, going for regular walks and cleaning/cooking like a mad women) so I think I've been in motion to keep the gas build up off. However lastnight before I went to bed I started having the nausea, vomiting, and headache.
I've been drinking tons of fluid's (everyone you listed) I even made homemade chicken broth so it would be healthier.
I just wanted to know if there is something else I can do to prevent this.
Also I was curious if popsicles are considered food or a liquid, and if it's ok to eat gummy and chewy vitamins.
How long will it be before I can do sit ups and all exercises? I know you said to wait for 3 weeks to exercise but I'm not sure if you can do everything at that time (I want to go back to my karate class which goes through a very hard regime).
How long do you have to do the 1 hour before eating and 1 hour after eating before you have liquid? On your site it states to wait a half an hour after you eat and eventually you can drink up to 5 minutes before a meal (but it doesn't say how long until you can do that) and drink half an hour after?
What about alcohol is wine a clear liquid? I know you say to stay away from alcohol as it is fatting but for a special occasion or something I would like to know if I can have a glass? Thanks for any answers you can give me!!!
