Hi everone!!! Just have a question for all you experienced bandsters. How come there are certain foods that go down real easy without getting stuck? And, these foods I can eat tons of and not feel like I am going to get ill? For example, the other night I ate 1/2 bag of popcorn and felt fine, I probably could've eaten more, but shared with my husband....I notice that some foods there is really no restriction on....

I have zero restriction on cheetos. (the puffy kind)

I ate a whole one of those asteroids cans..

I have never tried popcorn.

I made a rule No more cheatos, its my only rule right now, but I need more. (rules)

I just ate 6 nutter butters.. I feel restriction.. BUT hello, i dont wanna be able to eat more than ONE!

I havnt had a fill yet, have you?

Those foods aren't usually 'hard' proteins. Which is why the docs say, no snacking between meals. Protein first, veggies next, anything else IF you still have room.

The foods that go down easy are the ones that dissolve to nothing in your mouth. Have you seen what happens when popcorn gets wet?

I notice that some foods there is really no restriction on....

How true, and popcorn is one! Most of the time, chips are very easy to go down.

Ive been eating alot of popcorn lately and feeling like I can eat more... so I try to eat a handful of cheese cubes before digging into the popcorn - this seems to help me not eat the entire bag and when finished - go looking for more!

Ok - apologies for hijacking the thread but - NUTTER BUTTERS????!!!!! I have to know - what are they? They sound divine.....load up a plane someone and send em my way!!!

...........still here.........patiently waiting for info on Nutter Butters...........

nutter butters are peanut butter cookies with peanut butter filling!

..... and they are deeevine:)

damn I knew they would be! Just as well there's the whole atlantic ocean between me and a store that stocks them!

You dont have nutter butters?? LOL, thats funny.. aww well, I am sure you have some foods we dont have that are all yummy..

I hope when I all as restricted as I wanna be I can still have at leaste one or a half of one.. LOL
