You can eat most foods that don’t cause you discomfort. Because you can only eat a little food at any given time, it is important that you include foods that are rich in vital and important vitamins and nutrients, foods such as those recommended by your surgeon and/or nutritionist. If you eat foods that contain lots of sugar and fat or drink liquids full of empty calories (beer/wine/cider, spirits), milkshakes, ice-cream, liquidised Mars bars, etc. the effect of the gastric band may be greatly reduced or even cancelled out completely.
