I have had the lap band put in on July 25. I am 12 days out of surgery. I found the liquid phase very very hard as i had horrible gas pains and acidity. I had some farina (cream of wheat) Cereal and it helped so much but the doctor and the nutritionist yelled at me that farina was not liquid. ( well i thought it debatable but I'm not the doctor) What helped with the liquid phase was eggdrop Soup and wonton soup. Apparently you can stretch the esopoghus where the food is held. I hope to god I havent done this. They are scaring me sillly. But to shut my acidity up, I have had farina, matzoh balls and some chicken and mashed potatos. and yes I chewed and chewed and chewed and had no problems. And yes the portion were minute. I am down 12 lbs. So I hope I didn't screw anything up.
