| Lap Band Surgery |
Now I am going to talk to you about how to eat after lap
band surgery.
The first couple of days after a lap band surgery you will
typically be put on a clear liquid diet and you will be limited to having only
one ounce at a time.
Usually you will be given small containers let's say for
example that you would be given pills in while you are in the hospital to help
you control your fluid intake to only an ounce at a time.
After that first couple of days you will be advanced to an
actual full liquid diet and what that means is that you are going to have some
foods that are pureed so it won't be all clear liquids, it would be things like
mashed potatoes that had been very much pureed, fruits that had been pureed, vegetables
that had been pureed so again very very soft foods and you'll be on that
particular diet for a good three weeks.
After that you are going to be advanced to a soft foods diet
meaning that you are going to have slightly more solid food. It is going to
involve some more meats that are soft, things like ground meats whether it is
ground chicken or very lean ground beef and your foods will be spread out into
four or five very small meals throughout the day and you will be sipping on
water and fluids as well throughout the day.
After that six week period if you have tolerated that well
you will be advanced to a more solid foods diet that is involving crunchier
foods, a little bit crunchier types of vegetables and more solid forms like meats
such as chicken breasts, actual whole fish those types of things and you'll
spend a good six months on that particular eating plan again following four to
five small meals and sipping on fluids throughout the day.
Once you have tolerated that you'll be advanced to a more regular
diet making sure that you are limiting your calories to between a 1,200 and
1,600 calories per day.
Typically a diabetic change list is listed to help you keep
track of your calories and to help you limit your portion sizes.
So those are just the ways that are typically
used to eat after lap band surgery
