Have you found any diet plans specifically for lap band patients?

    Lap Band pretty much is it's own plan. It's got it's own set of rules. Three meals a day. Eat slow. Protien 1st, veggies 2nd, starches 3rd. No liquid while you're eating. As well as others.

    I have not found anyything like that. I am a lap band patient. I just posted a message about that today. I am having a hard time with balancing my exercise with calorie intake and the plan that my bariatric nutritionist recommends. It is no where near the calories that mfp recommends.

    I have had the lap band surgery for about a year. I had heard their is a specific diet that people who have had lap band follow. I have heard it has great results and wanted to try it. I know all the basics.

    I have found 2 websites that have some helpful protein foods: bariatriceating.com and bariatricchoice.com I LOVE the ready-to-drink BELIEVE protein drinks from bariatric eating. They have 20 grams of protein, and are my replacement for coffee in the morning. In my opinion, the vanilla creme brulee flavor is the best, and the chai is my second favorite (has a little caffeine!). The bariatric choice website has wonderslim products and a whole diet plan -- i dont use the plan, but use some of the products. The shake/pudding mix (meal replacement) is actually pretty good! I dont think it is a true meal replacement amount, though.

    I have been on/off in the 3 years that I have had the band -- and 1.5 of that I was pregnant/nursing. Also had quite a few issues with my band being the right tightness and causing me to throw up (rebound swelling). But I seem to be on the right track now. I am down 60 pounds from my heaviest ever, and working towards getting back to my lowest "band" weight ever. And, when I eat enough protein and keep out the bad stuff (sugars, too many carbs, etc) I lose weight easily. I dont eat any breads or pastas at all. I eat veggies, a bite of fruit here or there, and protein things like a little chicken/fish/meat and protein drinks.
