DIET and NUTRITION
Transform Mind and Body with the Lap-Band includes some very specific advice on what you should eat after undergoing Lap-Band surgery. You are placed on a special diet that goes through stages starting with liquids, progressing to soft and mushy foods and finally solid foods. After you’ve had surgery, carbohydrates like pasta, rice and healthy whole grains need to be consumed in very small portions and with caution until you can tell if you can tolerate them. Once you are able to eat solid foods, your caloric intake will average about 1,000 per day and then progress to 1,200 per day. The recommended diet ends up being one that is high in protein and carbohydrates in the form of fruits, vegetables and whole gains. Below is a reflection of a day on solid foods after having Lap-Band surgery.
Lunch: 3 oz. Garden burger; 1 small toasted pita; 10 grapes
Dinner: 3 oz. broiled lean beef; 4 oz. steamed carrots; 2 oz. cooked spinach noodles
Snack: ½ meal replacement bar (Zone, Luna, Pure Protein or Medifast brand)
There are also some helpful ways offered to make the most of your daily intake. These tips can easily be followed by those who are simply trying to lose weight even without surgery. Some of those tips include:
Stop eating at the first sign of feeling comfortably satisfied with the amount of food consumed
Limit all distractions including eating in front of the TV, on the go, in the car or reading while eating
Eat adequate protein at each meal of at least three ounces
Drink liquids between meals and not shortly after or with a meal
