Can u really eat anything you want with the LAPBAND and and control your portion size and still lose weight?

Day two of post op and down 20 lbs. no pain no excessive gas pains just tired and swollen.

I've been drinking like Water, juices clear and tons of flavored chicken broth and Popsicles yummy. I am feeling great and up and walking around. I am just needing some company while my roommate left for the night

Sounds like you're doing great on the drinking liquids and walking , etc. I felt a little wobbly for the 1st 2 days, then the 3rd day took a tiny walk outside in the fresh air, and started feeling really good . From there it just got better and better ! Hope your journey goes as smoothly as mine did, its all been soooooo worth it ! Im healthy and getting stronger everday ! Good luck to you !!!

Had my band surgery march 3, 2014; and following the diet plan and going to the gym (4 - 5 days a week) I lost over 65lbs. I feel so much better. :-)

After you get back on solid foods you will have to experiment to see what you can and can not eat. There is no food I can't eat. Yes, there are some I should not eat. Those being sugar, white flour, high carb sweets and junk food. Fast food was never an issue so don't go there. For me it is chocolate items such as cakes, pies, etc. Never meant a chocolate I didn't like. Yes, we can eat anything,b ut do you want this to work? work with dietitian and get a good food plan you can follow.
