I had surgery 16 days ago. Doing well on full liquids but can't wait until I can try some soft food. Why is there such conflict between doctors as to what you can eat? some say bread, rice and pasta is off limits and others say they can if its whole wheat and brown rice. Any body tried any of these things? Im glad I stumbled on this site.

Glida, welcome! We are all so different but similar. There are a lot of inconsistancies among phyisicans, I figure it is from there personal experience and what has worked with their patients. I do not consider any food off limits, just some foods are easier to eat than others. Some common themes seem to be trouble with chicken, scrabbled eggs, bread products, pasta and rice.Some of us over time have learned to eat very small portions of these foods if they are cooked a certain way. if you have questions please ask those of us who have been doing this process for a while and have been successful are willing to help if need.

Enjoy the beginning of your new life with lapband.
