HOW AND WHAT DO I EAT IF I HAVE A GASTRIC BAND?
I like to use the analogy of a hour glass to help people understand the way a gastric band works. The gastric band creates an hour glass effect in the stomach. Where the band goes across the stomach it creates a small upper stomach. The outlet of the small stomach is small and the size of the outlet is adjusted by placing sterile water into the port of the band. Just like an hour glass if you drink high calorie liquids, i.e. milk shakes, ice cream, alcohol, the fluid will empty quickly. There is no sense of fullness and the effect of the band is lost. At the other extreme if you do not chew your food well, it is like putting stones in an hour glass. The food just won't go past the band and you end up throwing up the food.
The way to use the band for the most weight loss effect is to chew your food well to the consistency of thick sand. Then the food will empty slowly and you will feel full for a longer period of time but not have any nausea.
There are three goals that you should meet to use the band successfully: 1) If you eat 3 oz of a protein that is meat, fish, or poultry, with a small amount of vegetables and feel full, 2) you should be satisfied with that meal for 3-4 hours and 3) your weight should drop by 1-2 pounds per week during your weight loss period.
The foods to eat should always be moist and be high in protein and low in fat and carbs. Examples of this are fish, poultry, meats, whey protein based foods and supplements, and soy or tofu. If you eat lentils and beans you must be careful about how many carb calories you take in everyday. Once again weight loss will only occur when your intake of calories is less than you needs.
