Which foods to avoid for new bands



Recommended Posts

Popcorn is funny.... for me it goes down fine but I spend the next hour bringing up the skins of the kernels... But I eat it alot... Not the kind in the movie theatre... the 100 calorie bags from the store.

I cannot do popcorn.< /p>

Thanks for all the info. I'm really wanting to try scrambled eggs but read that 50% have stuck episodes.

I have no trouble with scrambled eggs. I eat two almost every morning. I cook them lightly scrambles so they are moist.

How about poached eggs? I always wondered why popcorn was on the no-no list of some doctors. I love the Healthy Jolly Time and really miss it.

I have been banded for 4 months and can eat anything. bread is getting more difficult for me.....not stuck, but 3x have had to drink Water to 'push it down'. Other times, bread is perfectly fine.

Rose.... don't fall into the habit of eating and drinking to "push" things down. If bread is getting hard, stop now before you do damage to your band. lots of people who start doing this find out its away to eat "around" the band. You want to optimize your weight loss and use your tool correctly. This means eating good healthy Proteins and veggies.... going easy on the carbs and avoid as much as possible the bads... Ice cream, candy, Cookies..... I will be the first to admit that over the past few months i have falling to the Ice cream devil. And for that i have gained 6lbs since Feb 2012. Which i know is not bad... but it's not good either...

I also know that some doctors are saying that drinking while you eat is ok, but i still follow my Doctor and the Majority of the LB patients here and Not drink while i eat. I wait 30 min. after.

Hope you luck and happy losing,......

Thanks for the reminder. I did talk to my clinic today, they think I am not far from restriction. I just have to remember to keep chewing. The 3x were certainly not stuck episodes, just a little trapped. Have a good day.

      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?
