Did he tell you why? What is the wrong ingredient (aspartame, gelatine...?) you are not supposed to eat?

I love jello but they don't allow bc they say it can cause the band to slip.
does not make sense to me.

Because you may drop jello on you? LOL
Gosh I'm so happy to be vegetarian, it keeps me away from doctors and their sometimes weird principles.

I am allowed Jello. The only time I wasn't allowed jello was the first 3 weeks post-op because I wasn't allowed to have cold liquids. I have never heard that Jello would make the band slip. hmmmmm.

I think your dr. meant that the jello will slip thru the band too easily like juice or water and won't give you a feeling a satiety. Jello is considered a clear liquid even though its in a gel stage when its served. When jello is heated up by our bodies, it turns into a liquid.

Low calorie jello is one of my doctor's recommended diet suggestions for the second day of post-op for me. It even came before the full fluids. It was considered a "clear fluid" on my list of acceptable things to drink the day after surgery. Wow.... that's so different from what your doctor said.
Maybe it has to do with the type of bands we have. I have an allergen Type AP. Not sure what that means but I know there a variations. Who knows???
