Will no one be the wiser

I think you will have to choose very wisely on what it is you eat, Some people have no problems at all with food whislt others do.. I had my lapband done a little over 2 months ago and I can not eat ANY meat unless it is minced up (Pasta sauce) regardless of how much I chew it,It will not go down my doc told me I should be fine with sausages and hamburgers but as it happens I'm not.. I think by your 6 month stage you will know exactly what will work for you and what wont..

Good Luck matey

A side salad is good at any resteraunt. I eat a bite of my husbands, or friends food (whoever im out with)

Try to look at it as a reason to be social and not so much a reason to hog out...........(like many of us used to)

I was banded in June, food is "sorta" starting to be my friend again. :girl_hug:

I am still finding the food a mystery. Last Sat night I ate with friends who dont know I am banded and no one would have been the wiser. The following day I tried to eat leftovers ( all salad type so nothing that would have toughened overnight) and couldnt get a thing down. Same happened last night for me, Tried to eat apricots and yoghurt which I haver had often with no probs but struggled, pain and then my first episode of "sliming". It isn't just certain food but certain days that cause me grief. I guess this is all a great learning experience. i am 2 months banded and when I go to restaurants I havent attempted anything more than Soup, just playing safe. Once summer comes I guess I will have to try and find something suitable.

I am from Melbourne Cathy1 and I had it done at the avenue. Despite the difficulties working out what food I can and cant eat, it is still the best thing I have ever done for my health. Go ahead and book your op with confidence that you will be a new person in 12 months.
