After a year+ of being banded, I am really surprised by the food that I miss the most -- just plain everyday sandwiches! All kinds -- Subway, Mr. Goodcents, Turkey from home, etc...

It's not even really the bread -- I could take or leave a warm dinner roll with butter (the thing I thought I would really miss!), but a hamburger or a sub sandwich -- SLURP!

I dont really miss anything in the way that I'm like longing for it everyday, but I kind of miss the fun of going for sushi/maki. I'm not entirely sure if it's the rice or seaweed but I just have a hard time with it. There are some places that will leave the rice and seaweed out and just wrap the maki in a thin piece of cucumber (the cucumber takes the place of the seaweed and rice) so I can still eat it if I go to a place that will do it.

I make Korean soft tofu stew. It's traditionally eaten with rice. I can eat the rice if I put it on the spoon then put some of the stew on the spoon so it saturates the rice, but I choose not to. Sometimes I do miss the yummy taste of the rice with the stew but it's something I can live without so I do. I have so few calories to spend during the day, so I cut things where I can.

For the most part, I am satisfied with what I can eat and don't really mourn the loss of any food in particular.

Sweet Tea

Cokes

Steak

.... Drinking with meals (non alcohol)

I think that I miss beer more than any particular food. Sigh...

fried catfish or really any fried seafood. Not that I can't eat it.. I just choose not to 99% of the time.

I would love an icy diet coke right now!!

Me too! minus the diet lol i would also love to have a nice big piece of chocolate dream cheesecake!

there isn't really any food i miss because I can still eat just about anything. It would be nice though to be able to eat a piece of nice medium rare steak and not worry in case it gets stuck.

Mmmmmm, I second sandwiches! I can *sometimes* have a little bit of a sandwich, but not often and usually just a few bites. Stacking up meat and the fixings on a plate and eating with a knife and fork is something I do quite often; also cheese, meat, and crackers (like Lunchables). Some sandwiches are harder/just not the same to eat without the bread though, and I DO enjoy really good bread...:crying: But I don't miss sandwiches enough to regret all of the weight I lost!

Sometimes when I get sandwich craving, I use Tumaro's low carb tortilla and toast it with tuna and cheese, and its like a tuna melt. For me, if I toast it and eat it in the evening the tortilla doesn't get stuck, and there's only 50 calories per tortilla and they're very low carb (5 net carbs, 6 g of Fiber which I need), plus 5g of Protein per tortilla: Tumaro's Gourmet Tortillas - Low Carb Tortillas, Healthy Flour Tortillas and Wraps, Organic Tortillas, Flavored Tortillas, food Service Tortillas, Soy-Full Heart Flatbread Tortillas).

Last night, I cut two slices of tomatoes and put them next to each other with a little salt and pepper, put some shredded lettuce on top, then tuna, then a 1/4 cup reduced fat cheese. And toasted it all in the toaster oven. Didn't even miss the bread/tortilla!

I miss the ritual of eating a meal period. There's not any food in particular that I can't eat if I don't take my time but it's hard especially during the holidays because I can't a whole lot I have to put what's really important on my plate and skip the rest.

I think I can not forget the bread. It is a dish I ate regularly during weight loss. Simply bread with butter

Truly, I dont miss anything. I can eat anything I want to really, but the harder foods like hamburgers I have just naturally kind of gone off. They dont appeal anymore. So I just dont miss them.

I'm getting unfilled at the end of the week for a surgery and I've thought about it, but there's simply nothing I want to run right out and eat. I havent felt deprived being banded at all.

Tortillas, Diet Dr Pepper but most of all a bologna sanwich wih tons or cheese, lettuce, tomatoe , onion slices and a super hot jalapeno. Mouth watering right now!!!! Bread and tortilla's get stuck :-(
