Sorry...I'm still not understanding. If you are talking about the postop diet, you'll have to be specific about what yours is because they vary all over the map so I don't know what 'Phase 2" is. :)

Some surgeons put their patients on a month long postop liquid diet, others go through various stages until finally at the end of a month they're back on solids and many of us were back on solids after 2 weeks.

If you're back on solid foods, then the vegies you eat will depend on the WOE you've chosen (e.g. weight watchers, Atkins, South Beach, etc.).

Hope this helps.

I was banded on 4/1/2011. This would be my first week post-op and now I am going into phase 2 of introducing food into my body such as cream of wheat, scrambled eggs, pudding, chicken Soups, crackers, etc. Mostly all foods are considered "slider" foods. I can also eat soft Pasta and soft veggies. The questions was what types of veggies I can eat without getting the bloating feeling. I guess every doctor is different, because I do not have to be on a month long post-op liquid diet. I assumed that every banded person follows the same phases, well I was totally incorrect.

Phase 2 is typically known as mushies in the band world. I realize there are different order from different doctors, and even a bit different terminology, but phase 2 is mushies 99.9% of the time.

I would smashed cauliflower is very good, of course mashed potates, smashed carrots. Avocado, though technically a fruit, is very good too. I would stay away from gassy veggies such as broccoli.

Thank you, finally knows what I'm talking about....wasn't trying to be confusing or difficult. I'm glad you mentioned broccoli, because it was going to be one of my veggies tomorrow.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
