Hi,

I am having surgery in a week and am kind of scared. Lots of people I know who have had lap band were never able to eat bread again , even hamburger buns which are soft . I wanted to know how that is for people who have already had surgery. I also wanted to know if anyone who is a sushi lover , is able to eat sushi with lap band. :help:The closer it gets , the more questions I think of.

Thank you very much

I can eat toasted bread. Sometime I cut the crusty part of rolls and eat that too.

Scared, but excited. The liquid diet is easier than I expected.

Nope, no bread for me. I suspect I'll never be able to eat it again but it comes down to a choice. Get a photo of a loaf of bread and that of a thin person. Then decide which you want more.

Bread is one big factor in why I was fat, I'll take thin any 'ol day over bread.

Last night I tried the crust of a panera roll and it didn't go well with me. I ended up PBing in the car on the way home. I will never even try bread again. It was by far the worst PBing experience I've had.

I can actually eat part of a whole-grain baguette from Panera. I take it home for later and put a little peanut butter on it. However, I'm not that restricted (which is what I prefer). I only have bread occasionally although I don't count carbs.

I can eat some bread.. Like sandwhiches and bagels post-op (but after being filled I can barely eat 1 piece of toast).

But I could never eat anything on a hamburger bun. I tried a fish sandwhich, one bite and I was miserable.. and then I got ham & swiss on a hamburger bun at wendy's (something on the kids menu).. didn't work out, couldn't eat it.

So I haven't been able to eat anything on a hamburger bun since surgery even when I had minimal restriction.. But before this tightening I was able to eat bagels (slowly), sandwhiches, and hot dog buns if I pulled off all the 'excess' of bread on it.

What is a port revision? Oh and I haven't had any problem with any food thus far. Going for my third fill next week.

My port ended up flipping backwards so they couldn't get into it.. So they moved it from my belly to my chest (between the boobs) and stitched it with 'extra stitches' hehe.

Ditto. I was ADDICTED to bread pre-band. I haven't had it since I got decent restriction. And I really haven't missed it, either. Once you realize that what you are craving WILL cause you pain, you don't want it that badly anymore. And like you said, I'd much rather be thin than ever eat bread again.
