Try and fill up on high protien soups, vitamize any chunks before eating. CIB is also good.

Hi Sensey... and welcome to LBT!
Right now your body is focusing on healing instead of losing weight. I recommend the high protien shakes... you can even make your own.
My doctor's office didnt tell me anything about a 'protien' shake, so I had lots of McDonald shakes. A little more substance in this then tea or broth - and the protien ones keep you full - longer. (I like the slim-fast low suger/high protien)
Good luck!

What sort of diet protocol did your doc's office give you? One week out usually means liquids, either clear or full, depending on the doc. Anything solid at this point can cause damage to your fresh surgery.b Please check with your doctor's office to see what their normal routine is.
Also, you may read the patient handbook. Follow the link: http://www.inamed.com/products/obesi...n.html#booklet

It is so important that you let your tummy heal before you start running foods through. Please follow your surgeon's post-op rules. I found low-sodium V-8 juice helpful.

My Doc's University published a whole manual on what to eat. Days 5 and 6 are full liquids, and starting weeks 2 and 3 is the "blended diet". That includes such things as tuna salad, cottage cheese, and applesauce. Anything pureed, or blended. So, that goes to show all docs are different in their post op diet protocol. It is sort of confusing too-since I trust the info on this site-and what my Doc recommends is a bit different.

The best thing to do is follow your own surgeon's rules -- diet, exercise, and all. He/she has a reason for those rules. We at LBT are not medical professionals. We are just ordinary people sharing our experiences, encouragement, and suggestions.
Like Joan has said, all docs are different. I would hate to think someone had serious problems because they were listening to us rather than their dr.
