I can eat most everything I did before the band. Some foods I just can't get down now: rice, french fries, rigatoni, spaghetti, meatballs, tomatoes, peas, biscuits, breaded fish or chicken. If I have to have one of these foods, I take one bite and I'm done, because anything more would bring it back up. With hamburgers, homeade or eaten out, I eat the inside only or sometimes one of the buns. I love peanut butter and jelly, before two slices of bread, now one piece of toast with my pb/jelly and this is only occassional. I can no longer drink while I eat. At the beginning it was hard to not be able to drink my iced tea during a meal. Once I had good restriction, things changed...now if I were to try and drink, I couldn't eat.
