I know it varies by person and I've seen snippets here and there but I am just wondering there are some things that you have found that you cannot eat. Just want to start thinking about eating with the band, the right way!

Thanks.

I can't eat french fries (not that I should anyway) no matter what. I have tried a time or two in the last two years with catastrophic results. Only one fry chewed up to a mushy pulp and SICKNESS for hours to come. Guess that's a good thing cuz I love em' and they are not the most healthy things.

Also tried a teeny tiny bit of an apple fritter once and paid the price. I can eat eggs like a champ tho! And my wonderful 12 yr old makes them better than a 5-star chef! :w00t:

I had a big surprise last night. I had been thinking I didn't have as much restriction as last week, because food was going down well. I ate some steak that I had cooked all day in the crock pot, and was really soft. I was full in about 3 bites but pushed a little more because I thought I was wrong. I think it was the steak. I have been able to eat it in the past but now I am not so sure. I brought some with me to work today, so I will carefully try some more. Hope it works.

I can't eat rice unless it is really mushy. I love chinese fried rice and I have to completely give up on that.

I can't eat eggs either unless I mix a lot of mayo in them as egg salad.

Also, bread is a problem and I slimed several times on it but continue to eat it because I love it!!!!!!!

I had my surgery on November the 18th, and I can eat anything! I also eat very slow and chew my food very well. If I start to feel like I'm going to belch, I know that I'm full and stop eating. Certain things I do not eat because I know that they are not good for my diet, but so far, I have had no problems with food. I know that most people do not drink when eating (you are not suppose to), but I find that taking a sip every once in a while, helps me when eating dryer items, like chicken. To me, it's the same as eating soup. You have your liquid with the dry portion of the meat. I know that you should not drink too much because it fills you up and you won't be able to eat your food, but a little sip through the meal is a big help to me.
