KatherineMae Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 My name is Kathie. I am 56 years old and I am going to be banded on the 15th. We are driving from Las Vegas to San Diego on the 14th and I was just wondering how long I have to be on liquids after the surgery before I can eat solid food?

Hi Katherine, Here's a link to a post from mamamichelle - she scanned the post-op diet instructions. The liquid diet is 21 days - but after the first week you can have creamy soups and protein shakes. http://www.lapbandforum.com/index.php?show...hl=mamamichelle :lb11: -Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julieburns Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Welcome to this forum. I didn't really look at before my surgery and wish I would have. Almost any question you may have is probably here with numerous answers. Best of luck and keep us posted on how your pre-op dieting goes. My suggestion is to start a little sooner than 2 weeks since you have the time, maybe 3 so you don't have to be so under the gun to lose your weight. Just a suggestion. Again welcome Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
