Hello All,

I have done all the classes and had the surgery. I begin solids on Monday and I am scared because I have no clue what to eat. I just got my 1st fill today. Everywhere I read says no bread, no pasta, no this, no that....so what can I actually eat and enjoy! I hate eggs...just thought I would put that out there. I have been doing blueberry banana smoothies with a 1 scoop of protein. I can normally drink an 18oz cup of that in about 40 mintues. Am I drinking too much? I feel so lost! I want to be successful at this so I welcome any comments!

Just started eating reg food I eat what ever I want protein being prioritie. I haven't had a fill yet ? I make sure I chew well and follow the 1/2. Cup per meal amt. To maintain pouch.

Hey Crystal - I have lots of tips and recipes ideas on my blog. There's a tab for recipes, here's the link happilyafterlapband.blogspot.com

I eat chicken, fish, ground beef, beans of all kinds, veggies, I have a bit of a problem with thick meat but if it is a thin cut and I cut it up really small then I can eat most any meat. Yes I miss the bread pasta and all that but it sure makes it easier to lose weight, not eating all that. My daughter in law is also banded and when she makes spaghetti for her family she puts her sauce over a baked potato. (yep I eat potatoes baked) I have had times where I ate bad stuff and usually ended up not being able to get more than one bite down then stuck. It is best to leave the baddies alone. Hope all this helps you some.

Thanks so much for responding everyone. THis has been truly helpful
