Hi all,

I recently had Lap Band surgery on June 11th. I continue to have questions about what to drink and eat. I have primarily continued to be on a full liquid diet. Any suggestions people have would be great.

Thanks.

Hummmm, what to say .. what to say.. all doctors have their own guidelines.. but i will tell you what I was already eating by day 8 after surgery... I was eating refried Beans with sourcream from Taco Bueno.. I was eating cream Soups.... by day 12 I was eating tuna with miracle whip on multigrain crackers and chewed up realllllyyyyy good... it had to be the grain crackers, not regular white ones.. you are almost a month out now so honestly you should already be on regular foods by now.. but this is just what my doctor had me do and what a lot of doctors.. usually after a month you should already be eating soft chicken, veggies, and just normal foods... actually, if you are still on liquids, you are one tough person because I'm sure you are pretty hungry.. unless you are one of those lucky folks who never need a fill. Actually, looking at your date, you are 3 weeks out, so not quite a month out... but I was still eating pretty normal foods at 3 weeks out... but, this is only me and my doctors opinion. and Since you asked...

good luck.

As far as drinking, I never drink sodas or carbonated beverages. But I drink tea and Water and crystal light. For Protein drinks, try Isopure clear from GNC. My favorite is Apple Melon.
