Well I am trying to figure out what this is going to be like? I see some people eat sandwiches, pasta, soda pop and I hear that these are no no's. I am trying to see what my everyday life may be like and how I am going to cook for an unbanded family. Please answer yes or no I will try and make this easy so you can cut and paste....

1. Bread

2. Pasta

3. Pop

4. Tortillas

5. Salad

6. Steak

7. Roast

8. Cereal

9. Hamburger

10. Pizza

11. Apples

12. Chips

13. Cheese

14. Shrimp

15. Pop corn

16. Pretzels

I do realize that protein, veggies, and fruits come first, and I cant see how there will be room for anything else but I am just wondering how this works

Also if you go out somewhere and need something quick and only fast food is available what would you order? Could you order a Mc Donalds hamburger and just eat the meat? Would this be ok on a very occasional basis?? Thanks for the input Jill

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

1. Bread --> yes, but I rarely eat it

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.
