Hi! I am going to the dr on wed for my 1st visit since being banded. I am on liquids since the hospital and hope to move to the new phase of foods. Can anyone tell me what they were allowed to eat in the 2nd phase of foods or "pureed" as they call them. Thanks for your help...

I was banded on 7/15/08 and I have my 1 week appointment tomorrow myself. I was wondering what to expect at the appointment as well as the next food phase.

Hi, I was banded on July 14th. My dietitian at my pre-op appt. told me if I was "starving" my dr allowed a "test" meal on the 8th day. This consists of a scrambled egg. If I could keep it down, I could move on to phase II. I had that egg this morning and it was the best meal I have ever eaten. Granted, it took 15-20 minutes to eat it, but I was ecstatic. Phase II for the plan they gave me consists of mostly "soft foods". I can have tuna, turkey, or shaved deli meats (all chewed very well or pureed), soft cooked vegetables, creamy soups, yogurt or sugar free pudding ( I am SICK of jello) and protein drinks. SO..... today I had one scrambled egg, 2 oz of tuna salad, 3 oz of sugar free pudding and some protein drink. I think how strict your plan depends on your dr. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Today was my 2 week f/u appt. all went well, down 7 lbs since surgery, had staples removed (yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and on to mushies. I was told I can have scrambled eggs, tuna/chicken/egg salad made in a food processor, cream of wheat/rice, oatmeal, yogurt, apple sauce (s/f), etc. For supper I had a terriaki chicken breast in the processor and summer squash from my garden pureed. It was sooooooo good!!!!

im 5 days out but on my 2 week mark I will be allowed

scrambled eggs, high protein oatmeal, grits with low fat cheese, dried beans cooked very soft, peanut butter, moist flaky fish, thinly sliced deli meat, cheese, vegetable and fruit with no skin and soft enough to mash wth the back of your fork.

OK I typed exactly what my dr wrote for me
