[000000000 0]

Hello Lapband People:

I will be joining the banders on July 12th 2006 and am very excited. I have a few weeks of regular food left before the last 10 days of a liquid diet, Oh My :huytsao

I am not nervous about the surgery, But I am about what I will be able to eat for the rest of my life?

I was told today, after the surgery, No more bread, pizza, Shrimp, or Lobster,good thing I like tuna :nervous

I am down about 20 lbs so far this year just eating less crap, and stopped snacking. I will be having it done at Scripps in La Jolla California. I just want to loose about 80 lbs, They say it will take some time, But I hope to have it all off by year end, That may be unrealistic, but it's a good goal. Can't wait to say goodbye to my Diabetic Meds :clap2:

Welcome to the band forum and welcome to getting banded. There are some foods that will be gone for good but for the most part there are many foods that you Can still eat. I found out that if I chew and re chew I can eat just about anything, but one band rule is... just because you can doesn't mean that you should!!! You will learn which foods will be band friendly for you!!
