Band_Groupie LAP-BAND Patients December 14, 200916 yr Author stats Congratulation on your banding! If it's a clear soup it will go through the stoma pretty quickly with small sips (ie. I couldn't chug water or it would hurt, but small sips went down fine). If it's a pureed soup you should go slowly. At the beginning I 'drank' 1/4C at a time of any liquid and would take a few sips/spoonfuls and then put the spoon down for a min-few min. Hydration is the key at the beginning, so forget 'meals' and just keep pushing fluids all day. Best wishes! -BG
