Question.

I know you can't eat for an hour after you eat with the Lapband. I get that. But what about in the liquid phase. I am on full liquids. I just had a Protein shake for Breakfast. It obviously slides right down and I am quite full.

So do I have to wait after an hour with this as well to get Water in or can I drink water after having a liquid meal?

My doctor said to start practicing the wait 1 hour before drinking even during the liquid phase. More about behavior modification really. During this phase I would have full liquid soup (Pacific brand tomato/sweet red pepper is very good) and then an hour later the protein shake.

Thanks! I too love the Pacific Tomato soup as well. I have 3 variations of it and it's divine. I usually add Protein powder to it and use that as my meal.

Protein shake in AM

Soup w/ Protein Powder lunch

Soup w/ protein powder dinner

If I am still hungry later - either a SF Jello or SF pudding cup.

Water in between.

I just wasn't sure if it mattered yet so thanks for the answer.

The waiting anyway is a good practice to get into. My doctor told me I didn't have to wait because the shake is going to move through faster than food anyway. But, like "honk", I try to wait an hour as well, just to keep at it. Good luck and blessings to you!
