Can You Eat Subway Sandwiches After Lap Band Surgery ?



Recommended Posts

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
