My best advice would be follow your doctor's instructions to the letter and listen to your band. It can be a very fickle tool. There have been times when I could eat something one day and then the next, I could not (or vice versa) .. and you just have to kinda go with it.

If you don't have a copy of The Lap-Band® Solution by Paul O'Brien MD, I'd suggest getting one. Its a great guide to help new brandsters and old ones who fell off the wagon like me lol.
