Liquid Stage

[claudia24]

mine was 1-3 days of clear liquid like broth (yuck) tea/coffe, then onto liquids for 2 weeks then pureed for to weeks, soft foods for wekks then onto normal food, i can eat much normal food ie veg sausage,

on my liquid stage,
i had sugar free ice pop (very nice and a life saver as i was able to crunch them so my jaw got used)
w/w soup
coffee
ice cream

dont know with you being a bander, but even bypassers are told different, i never had to do the liquid stage was told go straight to puree as liquids woud not give me enough energy, im now 4 weeks post op and can eat anything mashed or very well chewed every one is different and different teams advise different things x good luck sure you will be fine x

full of wind, stitch like pains and cant sleep but hey I have my band lol.
Just got to get through this week and I am sure next week I will be full of teh joys.
Hubby is back at work tomorrow 7am till 7pm so I am pretty dreading that esp getting three kids ready and off to school etc.. but hey thats life.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
thanks again for the ideas
will get some smoothies tomorrow x

Poor you, hope you feel better soon. Yep smoothies are lovely and suprisingly filling. I got the kids innocent ones, the pack size was just right plus they were on offer (quite expensive normally!).

Take it easy but try and move about and the wind will soon shift - blame it on the dog lol x
