So today one of my best cousins called me to see how I was feeling. During our conversation she begin to question me about what I can & cannot eat. She also took the time to remind me about our numerous trips to Red Lobster. I explained to her that I now have to be very careful about what I put into my pouch (fear of getting stuck). Which brings me to my question....don't laugh :P

How many of you still eat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits ? I think I will be too afraid to ever eat those things again. I've heard about the pain associated with getting "stuck." I'm just curious who has eaten since getting banded. I know it's a sappy question, but just humor me :)

Ahhh Red Lobster Biscuits. We no longer have Red LObster near me but those bicuits are good! I am nearing restriction and can eat bread. I occationally go to KFC and have grilled chicken (no skin) and veggies. For "dessert" I eat the crispy outer shell and throw away the soft middle. Not because I can't eat it but because of the calories.

For me the issue really would be deciding if they were "worth it" calorie wise. Per http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/nutrition-calories/food/red-lobster/cheddar-bay-biscuit/ they have 150 cal and 8 g fat.

Well I wouldn't eat them for fear of getting stuck - I wouldn't eat them cuz they would fill me up and would be a waste of my calories - I would rather have a piece of fish and some veggies - I may eat 1/4 of one - but really to day - I don't eat a lot of bread/starches or high fat food - cuz those are the tings that got me fat in the 1st place

I can eat just about any type of food - as long as I take tiny bites eat slowly and chew very well - Your band will tell you when you haven't followed the rules..

But the answer to your question - I bet you will be able to eat them again - but are you really going to want to - cuz you know what I use to eat the bread basket - my salad & meal - Now adays a bite or 2 of salad - then 1/4 to 1/2 of my meal - no room for the bread ;0)

I just had some last week as a matter a fact...they were delish but couldn't eat all of it. It filled me up quick and soooo worth it.

There are no Red Lobsters in Maine so I wouldn't know the Cheddar Biscuits. Which sounds like a good thing!

I know that I have made the decision not to eat bread products. I prefer to eat my Proteins now. I have detoxed from most carbs--havent had rice or bread or pasta---and no longer have any interest in them.

I do miss eating french toast though :-)

Banded 12/15 and went there last week for the bf birthday...shared the 2 for 30 meal, had 1 CBB with my salad (ate half of it) and 3 grilled shrimp and 1 bite of the dessert and that was enough! But I just picked at the CBB and spread out eating it over salad and meal, not all at once...but how amazing having red lobster leftovers for 2 other meals, before there would be none! Enjoy :)

The first time I got stuck was a on RL cheddar biscuit, and I thought I was dying. So I didn't try again for a long time. But after about 7 or 8 months, I tried one again, and it went down fine. Definitely filled me up though, but was worth it. Took most of my meal home and ate leftovers the next day.

I too dont want to fill up on bread anything. One day I got a plain cheeseburger for lunch....I took half of bun off. Then I ate some but mostely ate "off of" the other half. So I had beef and cheese. A friend of mine knows a couple of people with the band and said having a small bite of bread can help if you feel stuck. I had to try that later and it did work! I won't look to eat bread regularly but will once in a while.

LOL now I want one! Maybe take one bite? Sometime i'll do that if i'm out, i'll just take a nibble. Those aren't real doughy...

My mom called the other day and told me she went there for lunch and almost everything is pretty low cal!

AHHH...Cheddar Bay Bisquits! I haven't had any in 3 years, or Krispy Kreme donuts either. I would probably give my left arm (or at least a toe or two) to be able to enjoy either of those sinfully tasty treats. I have had 3-4 stuck episodes in the past 3 years and 1 of them was a bisquit and 2 of them where one stinking half-bite size of a donut. I learned my lesson...I'll just watch my daughter eat them and ask her how they tasted! lol...

It's funny of some of yall have eaten them and had no problems, while other have experienced getting "stuck." This band is strange how it works so differently for everyone.

Oh well, I can dream about the biscuits for now. ;)

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!! The last time I went I got the talapia dinner and bacon potato Soup. I ate all the soup and took most of my fish home but I nibbled at the top of that biscuit! It was so good! I didn't have any problems eating the top of it!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
