State: NY | Suggestions?
Hi All,
It sounds like I am a bit earlier in the process than others, so I wanted your expertise.
I am headed for my "nutritional" training at the end of the month. They told me that they will tell me how to eat after being banded.
I know there are a lot of differences based on MDs, so I thought I would ask you what things have you found that you can no longer have?
Thanks!

I have a hard time with pasta and rice. They're not so good for me anyway, so bye bye rice and pasta.
I have had toasted bread and that's okay for me. I don't dare try bread that is untoasted.
Good luck.
Sue

City: Jacksonville State: Florida | Bread is the biggie for me, I cannot eat any kind of soft bread. Sometimes toasted bread goes down ok. Anything doughy doesn't go down well, but that is good because it keeps me away from doughnuts. I love corn, but it always makes me pb for some reason too. | |

City: Jacksonville State: Florida | I have heard of a lot of people having problems with chicken. As long as it is moist and not overcooked, I have no problem with it. Thank goodness because I really love chicken, especially on the grill. | |

City: dallas area State: TX | HI i am 17 months out from being banded and i can still pretty much eat whatever i want with the exception of bread and ground beef. Bread just gives me such horrible pain that its not even worth eating anymore.

City: Beverly State: Massachusetts | I have problems with bread, rice and pasta. Some times chicken gets stuck depending on how it is cooked. I have to make sure that I chew alot of anything that I eat. If I eat anything too quickly it will come back up. It seems like that I am tighter in the morning too. I have a smoothie in the morning because if I eat food I feel like I cannot eat the rest of the day. Everything seems to get stuck. If I skip lunch too I am very restricted at dinner and have a hard time eating. That is when I turn to the bad stuff to get relief from hunger.

| Anything I want, some things more difficult than others. I would eat a piece of pizza extremely carefully but dont even have to think about salad.
Strangely, yogurt is one of the hardest foods for me, must be the cold factor. A yogurt for a snack is brilliant because it takes me half an hour to eat it.

City: Between Johnstown and Somerset State: PA | I'd have to say ditto to most of the previous replies. White bread and rice are my number one no-no's so I don't even try. I used to have a problem with pasta until I figured out that it was bc I wasn't chewing it very well. Now I can eat it but I really chew well. The things that go down toooo easy are candy and chips - Lord help me! I can't have them in the house.
