Phase 2 of 'what'?

Sorry, the lapband.

Phase 2 of 'what'?

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.
