[shady]

Hi,

getting banded in two weeks by Dr. Ortiz, wondering what life after lap band would be. First stage is ofcourse 21 day liquid diet.

Now i`m wondering what will i be able to drink in the first 21 days , can i drink juices, soups, protein shakes? what physical activity can i do? can i play table tennis?

Thanks

hi shady, i was just banded with Ortiz on monday. the first week is broth, popsicles, gatorade, tea, and diluted juices. on day 7, you can introduce liquid yogurt, protein drinks and creamy soupls. they advise against doing physical activity until about 3 weeks post op, and then nothing around your core (abs).

everyone at the OCC is very friendly and the nurses are super sweet. good luck.
