Ya pretty much. But I'm going to assume you had an obesity issue with the lap band thing. I would try doing some general research and use IIFYM calculator to get your TDEE BMR and go from there to cut maintain or bulk. Personally, I like to eat a lot of protein. I weight 180 and eat 220g. Like to eat ~80g fat on a cut ~100g on a bulk. All just my preference. Takes a lot of time and effort to figure out what works for YOU best. Good luck bud

As far as bare-bones basics, start by doing as DBrock said and use an online calculator to get an approximation of your BMR. From there, you're going to want to add about 500 calories per day as a surplus. Distributing those nutrients among the three macro's (protein, carbphydrates, fats) is where individual preference and knowing your body come into play. While there are general guidelines, everybody's body responds differently. High protein (research I've seen leans towards 1.4-2g/kg bodyweight), moderate fat (necessary to maintain hormone balance), and fill the rest of your daily allotment with carbohydrates with the majority being consumed around your workouts.
Obviously this is a very simple rundown and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

I like a tweak on the Atkins for this. If I'm not doing any type of exercise, I keep my carbs as close to 0 as possible(typically being ~30) but still aim for a surplus. Days I lift, decide to do sprints, etc I will eat 50-80 carbs around an hour-90mins before the session and about 40 PWO.
Personal preference for dropping BF but adding LBM. If you want to put on as much mass as possible, that's a different story. Frank and Dbrock hit it perfectly.

A high fibre diet also helps maintain a healthy gut.
