HI Try to Do This good lock Liquid Diet(1-2 weeks post-op) The goal during this phase is to protect the small stomach pouch. Only liquids can be tolerated during this time. It is very important to keep well hydrated during this time period with lots of Water. Other liquids recommended during this phase include: Clear broth or Soup (no vegetables, meat or poultry) "Designer" Protein powders (soy, whey) Carnation Instant Breakfast (no added sugar) Non-fat powered milk Skim milk or 1% sugar free popsicles Sugar free Jello Sugar free/non-carbonated drinks or water less than 5 calories per serving Drinkable yogurt – sugar free/low fat pureed Foods (3-4 weeks post op) During this phase you may start having slightly textured foods, the consistency of baby food. This will help with the transition to more solid foods later. You need to choose protein rich foods. Eat protein rich foods first, and then move on to fruits and vegetables. Pureed skinless chicken or fish Mashed potatoes no milk & butter – not a good source of protein Cooked pureed vegetables Low fat or fat free yogurt Low-fat cottage cheese or low-fat ricotta cheese Vegetarian refried bean Low fat cream Soups It is more important during the first few weeks after surgery to let your stomach adjust to the lap-band system than it is to lose weight. Your timing and progression into each dietary phase may vary. Soft Foods (5 weeks post-op) This phase includes tender cooked foods like fish and ground turkey. Make sure you cut your food into small pieces and chew well. If you don’t follow these precautions, you may experience vomiting, stomach irritation and swelling. You can also have stoma obstruction. eggs or egg substitute Fish (tuna, shrimp, white fish, or crab) Chicken, white meat without skin Turkey, white meat, without skin Lean Beef (round or loin, ground beef >90% lean) Lean Pork (tenderloin) Low fat deli meats Beans Peanut Butter or nuts (use sparingly)

Thank You

Hello everyone. I had my lap band done on July 30th at the Maple Surgical Centre. I paid for all the costs and it was the best investment I've made in my life because I chose the right place. It took about three hours and I was out walking. I had some pain for the first two days and now the pain is very slight now and soon it will disappear. In the first meeting with Shannon, I was 289 pounds. Today, I am 262 pounds. Thank you Dr. John Bracken,
