I'm 4 months out from Lap Band surgery, and I can't do most carbs. At all. So no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes. I've really just been sticking to high protein, low carb stuff and doing pretty well with that. I've found that I don't really miss most sweets, which is big because I always had a huge sweet tooth. I also can not vomit since having the surgery, so if I do try to eat those things (specifically anything made from wheat/flour) I have the most horrible chest/back pain. It feels like the monster from Alien is trying to explode from my body! Obviously I avoid that at all costs!
