You ate what?

Just because you had the Lap Band surgery for weight loss does not mean you can keep eating poorly and expect to lose weight. There are often instances when patients tell me about the foods they are eating and I am shocked! Prinlges chips for snacks, sausage egg McMuffins for breakfast, pork rinds for snacks, ice cream; these are just a few I have heard recently. Remember anything is fine in moderation, but the calories have to go somewhere.
Pick healthy snacks; melba toast crackers , rice cakes or rice crackers instead of potato chips or pork rinds.

A protein shake or Slimfast Optima for protein in the morning instead of an sausage egg Mcmuffin.

Remember you have the power and the responsibility to eat healthier. The Lap Band won't do it for you.
