So being banded 12/18/09 I've been doing great, restriction, loosing weight, feeling great and still able to eat bread, rice, etc...

My last fill on the 5th I went very aggressive as much as my dr. was willing to put in 1.5 ccs and I FINALLY felt true restriction...

They say it takes about 2 weeks to be able to tell what your fill really did...

So this morning... I decided to have a turkey sandwich...I eat half of the half of the sandwich and I feel it... the BREAD.. STUCK.. trying to come back up... ICK... say it isn't so? I LOVE my bread.. love love love bread.... I did what we're not supposed to do and drank some water to help it go down but MAN... say it isn't so, what's a girl to do with out her bread?

Girl, I had my 4th fill last week and quickly discovered that break is no longer my friend - my very best friend in the whole world...so I feel your pain.

BTW...great new profile pic! :w00t:

I'm just going to have to do small portions...it took me all day to eat that sandwich but I ate it lol...

And thank you SO much :w00t:

Hey girl. After only one fill bread became an enemy! Lol! A good tip is to eat your sandwhich open face and to only eat the bread if it is toasted really well. I know it sucks! At least the small portions is working! :w00t:

Eat crackers, I have not had much luck with bread. I can eat the crusty part that is it. I do much better with crackers and they crunch when ya chew. I can only eat about 4. Best wishes imaluckydog

I was banded in Sept 09 and since then i have stayed away from bread... I still have no restrciton after 3 fills. My weakeness is rice.. i am blaming my Latin herritage for not being able to stay away from RICE!!

I have my next fill in May..i hope this one gets me close to my "sweet spot" i will be crushed if i get stuck with rice, I rather give up bread & Pasta.

good luck
