I hear some people can have bread and some can't. They say toast is better. Well how is grilled cheese sandwich? Is that a no too?

No foods are off limits. It's about moderation not deprivation.

I LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches and have them regularly. I just use low fat cheese, whole grain bread, and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray. I usually have half a sandwich with a nice cup of tomato Soup. Yum!

I was at my support meeting last week and my dietitian (my 3rd one) does not believe in eating everything. My 2rd dietitian told me nothing is off limits. Same surgeon just different staff.(different hospitals) I do eat bread.

That's exactly why I say nothing is off limits. Everyone seems to have their own idea of what works, the trick is finding out what works best for you.

Btw, that would drive me nuts to have 2 NUTS giving conflict advice!

Every surgeon is indeed different. We are not allowed soup, chili, protein shakes or anything that requires a spoon. No stipulations on bread though.

Wow!! I'm not even going to lie, there's no way I could follow that program. I eat chili 3-4 times a week and have a Protein shake for Breakfast every morning.

Good

Grief how in the world can you eliminate soup or chili? is that just for the first few weeks or permenantly? I eat chili alot, and soup and sometimes protein shakes.. Chili and refried beans saved my life after my liquid phase...

I have a protein shake, also every morning for breakfast. It is very thick and sometimes I have to use a spoon because you can't drink it.

That sounds REALLY good lol

my doctor recommended eating a 1/2 sandwich for lunch . the purpose of a lap band is to eat solid food so you fill full and satisfied.

Chili is off limits period. He said that soups , shakes, and chili go straight through and don't allow your pouch to fill.
