I have no problem with bread, except I'm gluten free... So my Gf breads tend to be toastier/crustier than regular bread. I would imagine the gumminess of white bread would do me in. Ugh.

My band was filled 7cc's in a 10cc band! Everyone is different keep going to your appointments!!! Recommit you can do it!!

What a feeling!! Congratulations!!

That's exactly what I thought! Hubby and I watch a fair amount of naughty videos together ((sorry TMI)) and now we just have to deal with the that. I also look at a lot of natural parenting sites and whole food diet/nutrition/news websites, so I get a funky mix of ads lmao

In his eloquence, he loves to tell people "I fell in love with her when she was fat!" Lmao!

I enjoyed every moment of actually losing weight.. Every half pound, (almost) every exercise session, every calorie counted... But mostly every size down! That first year was expensive!!! But going from a size 22 to a size 8 and then a size 6, I reveled in shopping like I never had before! I used to HATE HATE HATE/CRY CRY CRY while shopping. Worst feeling in the world until I was banded... I have never felt so healthy and so complete and so in LOVE with life! I have never felt so SEXY. And it amazes me still to this day. I don't take a single moment for granted and my bonus... I fell in love with the most amazing man. We met 3 months before my surgery day... And fell in love shortly there after... And he helped me with my journey. He joined a boot camp exercise program, we ran together and participated in 5k's together. He even got me on a bike for the first time in 16 years... And we rode 16 miles that day. What an amazing feeling!

I don't miss my fav foods at all!! I just eat a much smaller amount of then pizza, even sandwiches (if the bread is toasty enough), I even splurge occasionally on a piece of chocolate or some chips BUT I tend not to overdo it anymore. Thanks to my band <3 I love you, band.

Good job on the changes!! It will only make your journey more successful!! And good luck!

Good luck!

Trust me, you will not feel deprived that's how the band works! Trust yourself and keep talking to your nutritionist!

My next favorite are the zone bars. I have to stick to a gluten free diets and these are what I would have after my hot yoga sessions (I'd burn 930 calories in a session) those and a kind bar was always good after warrior dash (5k obstacle course)

Have you tried the "kind" bars? Those are my favorite, but you can have stuck episodes if you don't chew thoroughly.

Virgin Marguerita (I'm preg go) and home made nachos

Soups, yogurts, protein shakes, cottage cheese... Also jello an pudding the sugar free kind.
