Hello, I am also from the Europe, and got my lap band in September. Dont know anything about how it works :-) because my doctor refuses to fill it in and he did not give me any booklet what to eat so dont take my advices :-)
I think you sholud concentrate on food that is low in calories and big in volume, that will fill you up. I shold do the same. I made a plan starting from today - I will cut the carbonates for 7 days because after that I dont feel hunger what so ever! For 5 days I dont pay attention on calories or anything just eating proteins and vegetables, and after I loose the feeling of the hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hunger, than I can stick to the calories.
That is my idea, but dont do anything you doctor did not tell you, because I did not put it in a few days ago as you are!
When are you going for a first check up? What he told you to eat?
I am not sure can you eat mixed fruit or not but mango is low in calories and can make you full. Also - pear with some greek yogurt, mixed, and some apple with yogurt...it sounds so - so but it fills you! Put some Natreen in it, and it will be good.
Its great that you have joined us.
