Hi All,

I have my surgery scheduled for Feb 22nd, I have so many question!! I have a co-worker that had it done and she has done really well, although she was only 196 when she had it done. I'm at 285, so I have a lot further to go than she did. Can you give me a list of foods that you absolutely cannot eat? And what did you eat the first month? Thanks to everyone for your help!

This is the best place for you to come to. I am not banded yet but I have been lurking at this website for quite sometime. These people are great. There is a guys website I have found that has some recipes on it:

at the bottom of the page after all the pictures are 2 recipes he has used.

Also click on the food forum here on lapbandtalk. There are alot of recipes there. I'm jealous you have a surgery date. I hope I can get one before spring. Good Luck

Do a search on food or Mushies....

Everyone is different in what they can tolerate, my doc says the only thing you truly have to give up is white doughy bread. He gives back carbonated stuff after 5 months.

This place has a wealth of info... so just spend some time reading
