Having problems with message search?
I had my lap band done in June and was off the shakes as soon as I was able to eat solid food. I do have one sometimes if I am really low on my protein. There are some protein bars out there that aren't too high in carbohydrates and I have one of those sometimes. You will be able to eat all the things you mentioned, just not very much of it and probably only one thing at a meal. I just had my second fill last week and was very pleased to find that I can't eat more than 1/2 cup of food at a meal. I have lost 31 lbs. so far, and I can't tell you how much better I feel. I walk two miles very morning and still have the breath to climb my stairs to the second floor when I get back.
Good luck on your procedure. I hope all goes as well for you as it has for me.

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
