Are there any foods, that you just can't eat because of the lap band?

I was wondering bout nuts and seeds?

The only thing that I have found that I absolutely cannot eat no matter if I've got good restriction at the time or not is General Tso's Chicken from the chinese restaurant - it used to be my main dish that I always got and when I tentatively tested the waters with it one night I couldn't even eat a whole one little chunk and wasted the entire meal while I sat there and picked pieces of beef and brocooli off of my boyfriends plate. I have to be careful about certain things but that seems to be the only thing I absolutely cannot tolerate.

From what I understand from one of my appointments the constant all day munching is what does it. At my last support group one of the girls who has lost over 100 lbs said she ate a whole Italian sandwich but it took her over 1 hr and she could not drink or eat anything else with it. She had not had a fill in 9 months and said she thought it was time. She said that she can eat anything she wants if she wants to take all day to eat it. But she is looking great and still loosing. She is just a lucky one I guess.

I love Ice cream and that is the one thing I think I will honestly miss. I have already decided that if I am craving it wicked bad and cant get it off my mind I will have some but only 2 times a month. I feel you have to give yourself permission to have something once in a while because then it will feel like torture.

I have already started trying to do without bread like when I have a hamberger I will eat it without the bun and cut it into small bites. I never thought I could do no bread but it is actually not too bad.

How about spagetti? It is one of my favorit meals to have my mom make when we go to her house for dinner. If I stick to a small protion it should be ok right. I am going to have her make it for me right before I have my banding.

I am so glad I found this board yesterday....

I really can't eat doughy stuff like pasta or bread but I can certainly eat nuts and seeds. Other stuff I can't deal with: asparagus, citrus fruit, brocolli.

Any kind of steak gets me stuck and PBing..Sausage too..

haven't had a problem with anything else though
