Re: Lap Band Question.. Please help!

You have to remember that the Band is a tool - not a miracle cure all that will make you stop eating or make good food choices. By choosing to have the surgery you hopefully were choosing to dedicate yourself to changing your life and eating habits. Pizza is what makes most people fat in the first place...so why even think of eating it while you are in your losing stage? It would be a nice treat after you are at a normal weight but it is certainly not a food to encourage or help your weight loss. Check with your doctor or a nutritionist....sounds like you did not get proper nutritional guidelines before surgery. You should be eating protein protein protein...then veggies....NO CARBS at least the starchy ones. Otherwise...do you really expect your new tool to assist your body to lose weight while eating pizza? I was banded 4-16-09 and cannot even entertain the thought of eating a piece of bread - much less fat and carb laden pizza. Retrain your brain and the body will follow!!!
