A little excited but alot nervous. Not sure if I totally understand what is included in the liquid diet. Really could use support.

Hey Navymom, there is a sticky thread under the "Food" forum, called "LapBand food Stages Lists Suggestions." There is a list of foods that belong in the various stages, as recommended by one of our bandster's neutrisionalist. (your milage may vary)

Good luck and congrats!

Hi, I bumped a Food Stages Lists Suggestions for you. The best thing is to follow your band surgeon's post-op instructions. If you do a "search" for various topics, you can get a lot of information on many different band-related issues. How much weight would you like to lose? Where will you be banded? Best of luck to you!

Good Luck! Please keep up posted on your journey!

Navymom, does your surgeon or medical facility offer a support group for bandsters? If not, there may be one in your home town. Meanwhile, don't hesitate to ask your doctor if you have any questions about eating, exercise, or anything else. You (or your insurance company) are paying good money for that band, and you deserve answers!

Welcome- The best advise I can give is set aside a few hrs tonight & read-read-read- all the information you can find here. Get a piece of paper & start making your list or better just print out the "posts" that list good food to have pre-stocked.

Congrats on your date & we all wish you a great surgery!

Remember Preperation is the key to being successful.
