Can anything be eaten in moderation?
After the stomach has completely healed, most foods that don’t cause discomfort can be consumed. Because of the smaller amounts, however, it is important to include foods in the meal that are rich in essential vitamins and nutrients such as those recommended in the nutrition section of this booklet, and as advised by your surgeon or dietician. Foods that are high in sugar and far, or high calorie drinks such as milkshakes can reduce or even negate the effect of the LAP-BAND™ System.
