Need Help please.  How many grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fats is recommended with a lap band?

It's best to ask you doc that because they all have different requirements but most only have requirements for protein which would be a minimum of 64 grams of protein, I keep my carbs under 25 a day and fats I don't really worry about because I don't eat enough food in a day for them to be a problem.

As we do not malabsorb any nutrients, there are no specific guidelines. Just make healthy choices. If you need figures, just google any site which gives recommended daily intakes for someone of your age and gender. 

Having said that, some doctors and nutritionists do make clear guidelines so you should ask your own medical team.

i never counted anything except occasionally (just to make sure I was on track)  calories. 

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
