I know a lot depends on how tight your band is...but are there any foods you know you can never eat again? I've heard things like asparagus, seaweed etc... are very had to pass through the band.

Thanks,

Kristen,

I feel I have perfect restriction, currently NO food that I cannot eat. I just recently got an small unfill. When I was too tight I could no longer eat any solids and meat was out of the question.

I NEVER maintain a fill too tight to have foods I can no longer tolerate. Plus it is counter productive with no weight loss and you highly increase chances of band slips maintaining too tight fills. I just make sure I eat band friendly foods, like lean baked chicken and tuna most of the time and stay away from thick breads like burgers and fries. I have NEVER PB aka vomiting, since being banded.

I can eat all foods, just in small amounts and I get full quick.

Good Luck!

I can't eat meat...well not a great lose.

No pizza here. I can eat some of the toppings....but I just don't care for it anymore. Too greasy.

If I at seaweed I probally would not have a weight problem

Hahaha!

I do LOVE sushi, and the sushi rolls usually involve dried seaweed. I haven't been banded yet (soon, soon), so it is a food to ask about.

Not for me, I have 2.5 in a 4ml band and can still eat anything.

I've determined that I am darn lucky and that I will try to lose the rest of my weight without more fills in order to preserve this freedom.

I cant eat a LOT of anything though.

So far I havent had any troubles with any foods. I havent PB'd either. When I did feel I overate I felt crappy, uncomfortable, and too full but nothing major.

I really like eating a boiled egg mashed up with a lil light mayo, mustard. Also I like some lunch meat with a lil cheddar cheese melted on top. Both of those things would each be a meal for me.

Havent tried pizza yet. Dont really think I should since thats one of the things the old me would have pigged out on.

I forgot, I will never have MILK or carbination again. My Dr says drinking milk is off limits and the carbination streches the pouch. For me it sucks cause I did love my Coors light :cool:

Never more than 6 grams of sugar in a serving either.

ITS WORTH IT TO ME

Most food seems OK, but two bites of soft bread gave me a golf ball. So far, everything else seems OK.

Stephanie - no milk? Did he say why? It is such a good source of calcium and protein. It's liquid. Should go right on through. My doctor wants us to drink lots of it.

i dont know if its the chicken or the way it was cooked i tried chicken cutlet took 1 tiny bite and i dont think im going to eat cutlet agien, probly the grease made me sick, as for sodad i can drink soda no problem i dont like to much soda i drink alot tea, i drink milk every day, 2% np problems with it, i can eat small amounts of untoasated bread alot of ppl need to toast thiers, shrimp is really easy to eat, i have trouble with wheaties, that really it,

I cant eat bread. No more sandwiches 4 me now, buts thats a good thing i used to eat 2 much bread which kept the weight on me, now i have none but im used to that now .

Thanks for all of your posts. I'll ask about seaweed at my consultation this Friday. I'm a vegetarian, so I don't need to worry about not eating meat. I'm glad to hear some people are lucky and can eat anything, just in small amounts. That is what I want out of the band - portion control.

If seaweed is off limits, I can always ask the chef to leave out the seaweed. My favorite is kamikaze sushi - seaweed, rice with avocado, friend tempura bits & spicy red sauce - yum!!!

I can't eat super fibrous veggies with hard stems like kale of the stems of brocolli, and I definitely 100% can't eat fast food. I've PB'd every single time I've tried it. I've had problems from time to time with scrambled eggs, but not always.

Hi gang,

Ive been banded for 3 months on the 5th of Sept. I have trouble with almost anything. Somedays I can eat o.k. and the next day the exact same foods will get stuck. i have not had any fills yet. I cannot touch bread, meat, Pasta, etc. mushies seem to be the only thing that goes down easily. I have lost weight exceptionally fast. In less than 3 months I have lost about 45 lbs. I'm not bragging I just wonder if this is normal? Most everyone I know who has been banded has not lost that fast. also they do not seem to get stuck the way I do. I wonder about my band slipping? I can drink anything fine for the most part. Does anyone know

the signs of slippage? I am not planning on worrying to much because of the quick results. I figure "you gotta suffer for beauty!" Ha.. any way if anyone would like to offer ideas it would be great. i don't want to live without my band ever again. I hope it is not slipped!:phanvan

Thanks,

Lorrie:)
