I am so sick and tired of everything I eat being questioned by everyone that knows I have the band, are you supposed to be eating that? Did they expect that I would stop eating entirely? I was told from the start, the "no" foods, pasta, bread, potatoes, rice. But then I see people on here that are eating those things. My husband said, this is nothing more than the atkins diet. He thought the whole point of the band was to decrease portions, no matter what you ate, thus, weight loss. I have tried to explain to him that in light of portions size being small, I have to choose proteins to keep my hair from falling out, and my organs and muscles from suffering, but I still don't think he gets it. If I were single for awhile, this might be easier.
