thank u

Hi Melipooh,

You don't have to worry about anything you eat harming the band in any way. The actual types of foods you CAN eat is not limited in any way by the presence of a band around your stomach. The choice of what to eat is entirely up to you; the consequences would be the same as if you weren't banded (that is, too many calories in equals no weight lost).

Once you're off liquids you will have to pay attention to the textures of foods and the sizes of bites you swallow. That's a learning experience and no one can really just "tell" you what will work for you. But liquids are completely fair game and nothing is off limits, band-wise.

Congratulations on your banding and welcome to LBT!

Yes, you're welcomed to hate diet milkshakes. I know I do.
