lulu ... best to pick up the phone or check the website for your provider to check, as all providers guidelines are different. Even for me as a bander now, while it melts, sometimes it can take a while for Jelly to go down through the band, which is why i often eat the sugar free stuff to fill me up for a while. let us know which provider you are under, and what they say as it may be helpful for other banders with the same provider

I'm bypassed not banded but did have sugar free jelly from quite early on as it slides down well but mixed with milk & a little protein powder for the protein hit needed for us by-passers.
But agree better to double check with your provider.

Here all the time.....
My provider was a yes immediately in the post op diet.
But it hurt so much it made my eyes water and I havent touched it since.
Every provider seems to have different rules for the same thing. Regardless of what I read in books or on here, I always followed the list I got to the letter.

I have the protein shake but not often. I use a PHD strawberry one which is supposed to be mixed with water. i mix it with milk instead to make it less sweet and to up the protein even further. I know Jo uses the wieder chocolate one which she says tastes great.

Lu - Im with HW as you know, and the jelly isn't listed in the handbook that you are given with what they suggest that you have. I did enquire at the time and was told it would be ok IF it was turned to liquid in the mouth before it went down to the stomach - then its only a liquid. I found by the time it dissolved in the mouth and back to liquid it was fine . . .but I only had it a couple of times on the liquid only stage as I'd had it lots doing the milk diet during the pre-op.
Another thing if you want to confirm it with them, you can always post and ask on HW forum - admins from HW read and respond so you'd have a direct answer too, but that is what they said to me after my surgery

I brought the plain powder from Julian Graves/Holland & Barrett. That way I could & can add it to anything savoury & dessert based. At the start I used a scoop of powder with a 1/4 cup each of milk, fat free Greek yoghurt & fresh or frozen fruit blitzed as a smoothie, or blended into soups for an extra protein hit. I also brought sample sachets of the different flavours I fancied from my protein .com it gave me a chance to see which I liked without buying a big tub , but was great to when we went away 5wks post op to Spain by adding milk I could have a shake that was tasty & safe ensuring I got a good protein hit each day.
Hope that helps.
