This was a great thread. I was very interested in the responses my self... as newly banded!!

My surgeon said the biggest problem is trapped gas-- not being able to expell the gas normally can cause stomach distention and that can actually push up your organs and put pressure on the heart and cause cardiac arrythmias. Jill

2. Pasta --> yes, as much as I want

3. Pop ---> yes, I shake it flat and sip.

4. Tortillas ---> ?, never tried

5. salad ---> YES, watch out for topings. There are some vagies I can't eat.

6. Steak ---> No, everytime I have tried I feel like Im about to die.

7. Roast ---> No meat, I went vegitarian b/c my band hates it.

8. Cereal ---> yes, but very little

9. Hamburger ---> No.

10. pizza ---> yes, I can have a slice or two if I eat it slowly.

11. Apples ---> I have braces so I don't eat apples.

12. chips ---> yes, like Water.

13. cheese ---> yes, it is only my favorite!

14. Shrimp ---> I don't know

15. pop corn ---> yes, by the bag.

16. pretzels ---> yeah I guess.

I am in need of a fill and will be in to see my surgeon in a couple of days. What I have learned is that with every band adjustment, the dynamics of what I can and cannot eat changes.
