rockinit Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuk98828 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I can't answer all of your questions, but here is what I know. According to the 3 week eating plan that Dr. Miranda gives us, Popsicles are considered clear liquid. I started taking my gummy vitamins immediately and just sucked on them till they dissolved. My only advise on the wine is becareful as it will "hit" you harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Did you get banded at the OCC? I would assume not, as all of these questions are answered in the package you receive prior & after to your surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinit Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yes I got it done at occ by Dr. Martinez. I had another horrid headache that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curveydiva Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I was banded the 23rd too - perhaps you are feeling sick because of the clear liquids only - today you can add drinkable yogurt, maybe the extra nourishment will help you not feel so sick.

I would love to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
