The ones that had it for a while. What are some of the foods you CAN'T eat? I hear bread is the worst.Can you eat wraps?

Wow , I have people I work with that say they Can't eat spicey food. Or Pasta at all. Now they all went to the same doctor. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

As for the pasta, tmf's answer is right on!

The reason i think that some surgeons advise strongly against spicy good is because eating spicy foods makes us more likely to drink, which washes food through the band making it a MUCH less effective tool

Lol I grew up with spicy food so never ever had an issue with it (hallelujah!). It was hard enough as an asian when I realised I couldn't eat rice anymore!

Some foods, like mango, won't go down for me. I don't know what it is, but it was my favourite fruit and it hurts to eat it. Even when it's juiced. Go figure. And even now when my band is leaking, I won't risk it.

And the weird thing is that now that I don't have restriction I still don't enjoy the foods I couldn't eat when I was restricted. Don't care much for steak, have lost my lust for rice and I really don't care for soda or junk food. So yes, I think the 'aversion' my band had for certain foods has served me well in the long run.

I can eat pretty much anything, but if I'm going to have problems it's with dry meat. Otherwise, if I go slow with small bites, there isn't anything I can't eat.

Me too; however, I can't eat bananas. I have to blend them with my Protein shake when I have a taste for it. I can't eat oranges either. But all other fruits and veggies, bread and cereals, etc. is okay. I just eat them in moderation.

Depends on the day

Any fruit with a membrane (oranges, grapefruit)

Any microwaved meats. (Leftovers heated in the microwave kill me)

I also can eat pretty much everything as long as its not dry . I do not eat rice, pasta and bread but I think it's more because of the nutrients. I was Also told no popcorn.
