bread. I loved sandwiched, rolls, biscuits, any type of bread. I still have a teeny bit of other things, chip, candy, Cookies. I can't totally deprive myself all the time! I am down 35 pounds and exercise regularly so I think it's ok. But damn I would love a big ole sandwich!

So, I know everyone is different and I have drastically changed my eating habits in the past year. I just got approved for my surgery today! I'm so excited, but reading this post the biggest question I have is...these foods you miss, are they ones you cannot tolerate with the band or are they foods that you just don't eat now because it's a better choice? I was just curious. Mostly because the thought of not tolerating potatoes really make me want to cry!! lol, I know that everyone has different tolerances but just curious! Congrats on your weight loss ladies!!!

Well, for me I can eat anything if I take my time and make sure there is plenty of dipping sauces or something to help liquify it. I just choose not to eat a lot of things because those dipping sauces can add up in calories. 2 tb of ranch got like 120 calories in it! I would have to use a lot of it to help break down a subway sandwich. I know they got reduced cal and fat sauces but why waste my time with those.

I'm not sure if there is one thing that has been the hardest to give up, because I don't truly deprive myself of things, I just limit it. But I do miss a chicken quesadillia from taco bell and the pizza hut personal pizza. I would love to have them but after looking at the nutrition info, it is not worth it. I always thought my diet coke would be difficult to give up, but it wasn't. I did try some a little bit ago and OT honestly didn't taste that good anymore

Gosh. You and me both. I loved eating a 6 in. turkey/cheese/bacon sandwich from Subway, but bread isn't my friend at all. Maybe one day way down the road we will be able to eat a Subway again. Hehe.

I don't really have too many things I cannot eat. bread is the biggest one that I cannot eat. I LOVE bread (bisquits, rolls, cornbread, etc.), and I may be able to eat a few bites if that was the only item I ate, but I don't want to try it. Pasta, potatoes, chicken, eggs, etc. goes down fine most of the time. I have never had a problem getting potatoes down, but I don't eat them often.

Also, I don't know if others experienced this, but I am 13 months out from surgery, and my taste has changed dramatically. Most food just doesn't taste good to me anymore. It's strange.

I cant say there is one food I really miss but what i miss is a good chow down of lots of food. Honestly I miss that totally over stuffed full feeling. I miss bulk.

I am 4 weks out and haven't found anything I can't eat yet. I get my first fill tomorrow so maybe that will change.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
