Can any if you that have been banded eat bread, rice or salads?

I eat salad quite often and usually get leafy Romaine, sometimes with carrots in it. I have a good restriction 7cc in a 10cc band, and it still goes down fine but you do need to chew.

Break I do not eat much at all, maybe if I have a burger bun, but I end up eating only half a bison burger and usually not even half a bun. Alot of people eat subway sandwiches the 6 inch ones, I haven't eaten much bread since I went up another cc to the 7.

I don't eat rice often but I also do not have any trouble with it.

I have seen posts where some individuals have issues with those foods, but I haven't so I think it will be up to your body. Just remember when you try them to chew fully, or anything can cause you issues!

Good luck!

I have 7.5 in a 10cc band and have no problems as long as I chew it well

I eat all three and often. I just have to be sure to take tiny bites and chew it like crazy.

I can eat all of the above

My doc said to stay away from them. I thought it was going to be hard but so far so good no cravings for it. Which those are the foods that got me this was to begin with...oh and pasta!!

My Dr. Says not to eat until you are close to your goal weight. He says to stay at 30g of carbs - eat fruit to get that amount of carbs.

Some days i cant eat bread i find that if it toasted to a crunch i can eat it but if it doughy i cant.

Rice is fine with me havent had a problem need to chew very well and wait in between bites.

Salads as of my latest fill has not been going on it gets stuck everytime i eat it so i just stay away from it.

I have 5.75ccs in a 10cc band and have okay restriction so far. For everyone its different like i said some days i can eat it other days i cant. I also find that it depends on the time of the day i try to eat these things if i have them towards dinner time later in the evening my band is alot looser then breakfast/ lunch.

I can not eat bread ... yesterday we were out to eat and I thought maybe I would try a slider at Steak and Shake small little bites, was in the bathroom twice before we left. The way my PA explains it bread no matter how well chewed is a dough ball and dough balls get stuck. And rice is a sometimes thing. Salads with lettuce and vegtables well chewed go down pretty easy . Pastas is not a favorite of mine so I eat it slowly.

I have heard of people eating 6 inch subways and that just makes me hurt to hear it..everyone is different.. getting stuck is not any fun .So I approach everything slowly ....

I can eat pasta, rice, bread, and salad. I just don't like pasta and rice enough to eat them. Bread I don't eat because of the calories. If I am at a dinner party and there is nice/high quality bread I will eat it. I've only had problems with low quality restaurant rolls.

I was told not to eat those foods as well....those foods are what packed on the pounds for me. I am a carb-o-holic! Honestly I don't think I'll miss them. Knowing that I am healthy, losing weight, feeling great, will give me more satisfaction than the carbs ever did

Toast does generally go down easier as do grainy breads. Also if you try to eat a whole roll you will probably have a problem but if you mix it up with other food then it makes it harder to form that ball. So a small bite of bread with healthy toppings on as in an open sandwich might be easier to eat .

Agree 1000 percent

Wow. I had been wondering the exact same thing. I am two weeks out and for some reason am craving the grill chicken sandwich from subway. It will be awhile before i can try it though. Thanks to everyone for your answers! Super helpful.
