bloating post op

Hi everyone,

I am now 10 days post op and still feel very bloated! I am eating 4 small meals a day. Yougart + 1/3 cup bran, 1 1/2 c cream soup, 1 chicken leg + 1\2c spaghetti salad with fresh vegs and another small meal 1-2 hours before bed. I drin**** tea and water during the day. I just started taking walks. Is this feeling normal or does anyone have a suggestion to help?

are you supposed to be eating all of that.....i was still on liqids then.............maybe that is too much density?

I've had RNY, and couldn't eat that kind of food.  I'm on soft and it's been 6 weeks and I'm struggling.  Is the lapband diet different? Just curious.

Hi Pooch,

Yes the Lap Band diet must be different because I am following the schedule from my doctor. By day28 you are to be back to eating a normal diet. The only foods I have to be careful with is thick breads, rice and red meats. I am only on a soft protein diet for 3wks, whi*****ludes dark meat chicken/turkey and fish. I go for my first Dr. visit on monday, 20th.

I HAD THE LAPBAND ON THE 26TH AND MY FIRST 7 DAYS WERE CLEAR FOLLOWED BY 7 FULL LIQUIDS WITH 14-28 PUREED.....I HAD LOST 31 LBS BY MY FIRST VISIT AND THE GAS COMPLETELY WENT AWAY AFTER THE SECOND WEEK....MAYBE YOU SHOULD PUREE A LITTLE LONGER BECUZ I FEELGREAT!
