Happy to find a forum just for us canucks!
I have a really stupid question...what exactly are the "band rules" I keep reading about? Are they the rules in the Lap Band guide for patients?

Don't eat around your band. Don't eat the ice cream, chips, soups, and other things that pass right through your band but could be easier to eat sometimes.
Don't over eat and stretch your pouch.
Don't eat grapes, and the skins on oranges, grapefruits, etc.
Don't drink carbonated beverages until or unless your surgeon says it is okay.

:welcomeB: to BandLand....
one of the 'Band rules' is that 'the BAND ...rules!'......
there are examples of how and what most Bandsters do, along with examples of the differences and variations between what we all experience....
If you take a group of the Citizens of BandLand and compare all factors in their Band Life....there will be a large number of points that are very similar...and some that aren't....
"Band Rules" are not exactly a Total Science...more like an Art, in which application of GUIDELINES allowing for those variations, tends to get more beneficial results in a shorter time with less anxiety and misery....
Rather than "The Ten Commandments" of Bandster life....it's "The Ten Suggestions that are really Good Ideas for Most of Us"....
cheers....

What no grapes!! I love grapes. I guess they are afraid you might inhale them accidently. I have already eaten them a hundred times, oops!

Here's a copy and paste from La_madam's link...
10 important rules
Here are ten rules for eating, drinking, and exercise that will help you get the best results you can with the Lap Band System. How willing you are to follow a new way of eating is key to making the operation a success.
1. Eat only three small meals a day.
2. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly (approximately 15 to 20 times a bite).
3. Stop eating as soon as you feel full.
4. Do not drink while you are eating.
5. Do not eat between meals.
6. Eat only good quality foods.
7. Avoid fibrous food.
8. Drink enough fluids during the day.
9. Drink only low-calorie liquids.
10. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.

Some additional rules I try to stick by...
Limit and/or avoid mushy, high calorie, liquid type food like Ice Cream, Chocolate, Shakes, etc.
Avoid Bread because it's wasted calories and hurts like hell!
Avoid chips & doritos since they go down too easily.
Avoid carbonation (this rule seems flexible to different doctors) though it hurts me so I avoid completely.
Eat high quality proteins first, then veggies. Limit simple carbs.
