Does anyone follow a specific diet?

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.< /p>

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!
