Lap band surgery is considered as one of the best weight loss surgery. But it is also associated with some side-effects. You have to follow strict dietary program after lap band surgery. You have to be on liquid diet for 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. Solid foods are avoided during this phase. During the phases of lap band surgery you are on the rapid weight loss. In comparison to that you are not taking protein or other vitamin enriched food in that much amount. Protein is generally very essential mineral for our body. After this surgery you are not going to hold more than 4 to 6 ounce per meal. But the protein required by your body is more than this. This makes you deficient in protein.

To avoid protein deficiency, lap benders should take protein enriched food in more quantity. You should take approx 50 to 60 gram of protein daily in your meal. Protein deficiency will have a great affect on you. Due to this you face the problem of hair loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, depression, irritability, anxiety, edema, apathy, any mental health issue, headaches, anemia, low blood pressure, and delay in wound healing. Sometimes it leads to the position of death.

First check amount of protein in your blood through serum blood test. If you found that you are having protein deficiency then you should start taking protein enriched food. Take the food shredded in a food processor along with a high protein shake. You must consume two ounces of protein every hour for ten to twelve hours a day. Take a proper diet and ask to your surgeon for further more detail.
