Hi guys just looking for some advice.

Does anyone follow a specific diet since having band fitted?

Or do you just eat healthier but normal foods?

Thanks

I'm in the "everything in moderation" camp. I avoid alcohol mostly but indulge on occasion. The biggest problem with alcohol, for me, is that it boosts my appetite while lessening the efficacy of my band and that's a bad combination.

I always eat my Protein first and then eat bites of anything else on my plate if there's room.

I refuse to follow a specific, rigid diet simply because attempting such always backfires for me and I end up binging on what I actually want instead. Of course, traditional binging now is a physical impossibility but during a particularly brutal bout of PMS I did manage to eat an entire sleeve of Oreo Cookies and a glass of milk for lunch. That's all I ate and it kept me full for several hours... Calorically it was in line with what I would've eaten anyway but it was nutritionally void of anything except sugar and fat.

I am in no way recommending this, but hey, I have food issues and occasionally I slip. The great thing about the lap band is once the episode ends, I don't just say "screw it" and "go off my diet" because there is no "diet" to exit anymore.

My way of eating is keto.

Thanks for the advice

I'm trying to get as much Protein in my diet as possible. I have bought a Keto diet/recipe book so hoping that will give me more tips thanks again!

At this stage I eat high Protein - think South Beach / Atkins style. I'm early in my weightloss phase and I need to limit my temptations.

I don't eat as much as I use to, get full quickly, however, I am at a stand still and haven't lost weight in about 4 months! Any suggestions for getting unstuck!
