Last night was my monthly Lap-Band support group meeting with my surgeon. One of the topics that came up was whether or not food still called to you. As in, what are you craving or eating because you want to and not because you NEED to.
Immediately post-op hardly any food called to me. It took more than a week to be interested in wanting anything other than my liquids. And I was quite content with my egg salad during the “soft solids” phase. When solid foods came back into the picture, I had no problem eating the things I should be eating. My routine with food was consistent and I was very happy with it.
I ate good solid protein, perfect 4 oz meals, and avoided high calorie, high carb, and high sugar food. Sounds like following the rules, right?
