Having problems with message search?
Each person is different on what they can eat. Shakes are Not for Life, but you can use them as a meal replacement every now and again. If foods are too dry you will have a difficult time eating them. Starches can also be difficult, just depends on you. I know this is vague, but one person can eat sandwiches, while others absolutely (me included) cannot keep them down. I eat pizza, steak, fish, chicken, roast, mashed potatoes, tater tots (the crispier the better), but other things like noodles I can't tolerate. Crackers are great, toast is fine, cereal is ok as well. It is really an adjustment, but as you go through each day you will figure out what is and isn't right for you. I certainly am no expert, I had my lapband surgery on 25 May and have lost 24" and 33lbs to date so it does work and I find out new things I can and cannot eat/tolerate each day. Good luck.

Subject: [sch_lap_band_support] questions
I am approaching my lap band surgery date and realize this entails a total eating change. A couple of questions are: are the protein "shakes", etc for life; and after 6 months to a year what is the anticipated portion size and content of meals? I guess the question is really can you ever eat a piece of chicken, potato salad & deviled egg; BLT Sandwich, or salad and a slice of pizza? Thanks. GG
