These are the foods most likely to cause a problem with your gastric lap-band:

- untoasted or doughy bread
- rice
- peanut butter
- fibrous or "stringy" fruits and vegetables (celery, asparagus, corn, pineapple, dried fruits)
- greasy or fried, crispy foods
- the white, pithy membranes of citrus fruits
