Having the lap band can be difficulty eating out. However, if you enjoy the adventure of cooking then you might not be so bad after all. Cooking as I’ve mentioned before is therapeutic its my escape from the reality we all live in it’s an escape from the pain of yesterday to the triumph of tomorrow.
This is the approach we should all take when having lap band surgery. We have to reinvent ourselves, reinvent how we eat, how we portion size and ultimately how we live changes. It doesn’t mean your life stops. Food is still salable in small portions, it’s the seasonings which enhance our taste buds. Go and explore stop using just pepper and salt and experiment!
Today I was craving something delicious something different. The trick with band tightening is the food has to be soft and chewable. If its hard … forgettable!!! Dinner was chicken stew with sweet plantains and 2 corn arepas and piece of mango. You would think having the lap band you wouldn’t be able to eat this stuff. However, all of it home made fresh and some great spices. So go head drop that wheat gluten and experiment with some meat and viandas!
