Can You Eat Subway Sandwiches After Lap Band Surgery ?

[Meduseld 29]

Has anyone tried having their bread toasted for their sandwiches? I would think that would make it easier to go down.

I won't be banded until Oct 13, so I can't speak to the effectiveness of this.

Yes. I found that toasting helps! That, and chewing. For some reason the "white" bread sticks together like a mofo, so I would suggest getting wheat or some other herb one. It's healthier than the processed white bread anyway.

Before I had my last fill, i could eat part of a 6 inch IF I took the top piece of bread off. But since my last appt I cannot tolerate ANY bread. I DO like their Soups though ( =

Having any sandwich made into a salad is a great option too!

I love subway myself and one thing I can suggest is to have them toast the bread and usually you can only eat about 2 to 3 inches of the sub. I don't understand why some people think that they have to give up everything to be successful, Ive lost 147 pounds and have not given up any of the foods I love. Bread can give you trouble but if you toast it and eat it slowly you should do just fine. I have found that I have more trouble with lettuce than bread so, it depends on each individual. Good Luck
