LapBand Solids and Liquids
I received this from my dietitian on Monday and thought I'd share it with all of you. Some of these I knew - some are new recommendations that they are giving to all their new patients. These are the rules we are to follow once we get to "regular" foods:
1. Eat Solid Foods Only
2. Eat Three Meals per Day
3. Weigh yourself only once per week
4. Your pouch is the size of a golf ball - and that never changes
5. No liquids with meals (stop liquids one hour before and until one hour after meals)
6. No liquids AS your meal (anything you eat with a spoon is a liquid!)
7. Only 3 8 oz glasses of skim milk per day between meals - no other liquids with calories
8. If you have to ask "is this a liquid?" it is a liquid
9. Liquids for 2 days following a fill
10. No snacks between meals
