I am not sure how to do this..First time...

I had my Band done Sept 5th 2006, at the Northwest Weight loss Surgery Center in Everett Wa.

I am not sure what to eat now, I always seem to be hungry. I am anxious to have the fill..

Any suggestions how what toeat so I feel full? Or what not to eat?

protiens first vegetables then fruit in that order you probably won't get restriction for a few fills. or more you will have to be patient .

Hi Nana and :welcome: to the LBT. Congratulations on getting banded.

About eating and do's and don'ts, here's a couple of things to consider:

1. What instructions did the surgeon give you about the eating plan you should be following? Were there any written instructions with do's and dont's? Your surgeon's recommendations "trump" any advice we can give you.
   
2. For general information about eating after the band, here's a link to a really informative pamphlet I found that talks about the band and what to expect. Starting about page 25, there is a section on eating post surgery. Click here: http://www.lapbandsolutions.com/94829E_LB_Patient_Book.pdf
   
3. There is a separate forum called "food" that you can look at as well that has recipes and suggestions.
   

Good luck to you on this new path your life is taking! :clap2:

Did you get all the info on what to eat from NWWLS? I got a lot of stuff. you could also call them and get ideas.

At this point, you are 4 weeks out, so can start on some solids. I'd started with more salmon and chicken, just added other things in.

The basic rule is lean Protein, then produce, then grains.
