The last supper...

[Fluffy_Gurl 3]

Is there anything that you regret not eating before your band? Something that you cant eat now?

Is there anything that you cant eat now that you have your band that you thought you would be able to eat?

Have your tase buds changed? Does food taste different?

Just a few things I've been wondering about today..like..."Am I gonna be able to eat celery?"

I did the same thing, but don't worry. You will be able to eat everything you can now just in smaller portions.

I miss bread and Pasta. I can't eat them anymore. If I eat one bite, I can't eat anything else. I seem to get stuck. Other than that, I can eat anything else, just in smaller portions.

When it comes to the band, there really aren't any "off-limit" foods. If you don't have tight restriction, most things go down okay as long as you take small bites and chew. Things like bread and Pasta can cause issues though.

I think the point is that with the band you can eat anything; junk food, pasta, rice, anything. The focus is to realize what's healthy and what's appropriate to eat to keep your body in weight-loss mode. Of course, having pasta or bread every once in awhile won't kill you; it's always nice to treat yourself.

Before surgery I LOVED, seriously LOVED rice and pasta. I would eat it until I literally felt sick because I ate so much. With the band, I haven't really had much of these nor do I crave them.
