There really isn't a lap band surgery "diet" per se. What there is is a change in eating habits that is necessary before the diet in order to prepare for surgery and then a gradual change after surgery from a mainly liquid to soft food diet to one that reflects "normal" foods. The diet can be quite healthy if you make good choices for balanced nutrition. Conversely, it is not healthy if you do not make wise choices.

What exactly does a lap band surgery diet mean?

Well there are two types of lap band surgery diets, the pre-surgery and post-surgery diet. In the pre-surgery diet your doctor wants you to eat a diet high in protein and low in fats and calories.

The post-surgery diet gradually takes you from a liquid diet, to purees to softer foods until your body is ready to handle regular foods. Then you should still be watching what you are eating and making sure you keep small portions.
