Take your Time

The way you eat can be very important after gastric band surgery. Here are some tips from the team at BandBoozled to help you on your way
- We suggest a 6" side plate ( like our BandBoozled portion plate), 1/2 the plate to be your veg/salad section and 1/4 carbs and 1/4 protein
- Do not pile the plate high - gone are those days!
- Portion sizes may vary depending where you are in your weight loss journey so little meals more often maybe necessary to hit a good level of nutrition
- Concentrate on the protein foods first
- Eat with a small fork, aim for 20p size portion of food at one time
- Chew 20 times and rest for 20 seconds between mouthfuls
- Aim to keep your food textured where possible (once you are back on normal diet)
- And enjoy your meals - its just all about quality and not quantity anymore
So remember to take it slow, take your time and stop eating when satisfied
