Hi All, Just had my first meeting with the doctor where he told us how the band works and what we can and can not do and eat. I am a little concerned about the amount of food we can eat after the lap band. My documents says that I will be able to eat only 1 cup of food per meal. I can not imagine eating only 1 cup total of food per meal. What is that 3 bites of chicken, 5 green beans and 2 bites of some kind of fruit? For those who have had the band for over a year, are you really eating only 1 cup of food per meal? Also the doctor said to avoid all flour products. That also seems very hard to do. What happens if you eat flour foods? Thank YOu for your help Matt

so what do you do when you go out to eat? Do you order your food then when it get there you have 4 or 5 bites then your full and your stuck there watching everyone else finish thier meal? I really want to have this procedure but I am very concerned that I will not be able to eat such small portions. Don't you have to make everyone of your meals by hand. Because if you do anythng else you will wasted a tonof food. Thanks again for the help.
