Diet Progression

For those of you that don't know what a Lap Band is and what happens once you have it, well here is what I know:

The surgery involves having a silicon band wrapped around the upper portion of your stomach and a line leading to a port that is place under the skin that allows the doctor to insert or take out saliene solution to tighten or lossen the band around my stomach as needed.

After the surgery I will be on a clear liquid diet until I go home

Day 1-4
I will be on a Full Liquid Diet

Day 4-8
I will be on a pureed Diet

Day 8- 30
I will be on a Soft food Diet

I dont think there is another stage in between these

Month Post-op
I will be on Regular Food again! :)
I will slowly have to reintroduce food into my diet. Such as meat and spicy food.

My stomach can only hold about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of food
It will slowly increase as I continue my life with a lap band but not to more then a cup of food.
