I was told by my surgeon and nurses, that protein was the best way to help with the healing after the lap-band. I had my lap-band on April first, and have been doing alot of protein since i started on pureed foods. As their is no saline in my lap-band right now i could eat almost anything, buyt am following my diet book the gave me before my surgery. I have had no problems, and have healed really well. Protein also helps you feel fullier so you do want to eat as much especially before your first fill. Good luck. Carolyn James

My surgeon's assistant also told me that it will help with the elasticity of the skin once you start losing your weight. good luck, and if you have any more questions about your lapband feel free to email me, i love talking about my band surgery :) [email protected]

Can you eat the same amount of meat as before? See? It gets easier. and then you're not tempted to over eat to try to get enough protein via foods.
