Sub Sandwiches



Recommended Posts

For some reason today, I just can't get full. I have been avoiding eating bread for the most part due to carbs and the fact that I thought it would be hard to get down. Well, today got the best of me and I had to have something from Subway.

I got a 6 inch flatbread roasted chicken and only ate 1/2 of it about 11 AM. I am getting hungry now and really want the other half now. I am still way below my calorie intake for today.

I feel so guilty for eating this! I don't think I should be hungry this soon after lunch. Maybe I need a fill!:blink:

People look at this differently. I personally, eat what ever I want. I try do make health choices, but sometimes you just "need" a sub. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

I am a calorie counter, and as long as I'm in my 1200 range, I consider it ok.

Good Luck!

What is wrong with what you ate? I don't eat a lot of bread, but sometimes I really want a sandwich....and you know what I do. I buy/make one and eat it! I just make sure I log the nutritional info for it. I can't eat a foot long sub like I could back in the day, but I sure will eat a 6 inch.

Just because you have the band does not mean you won't have a day where you are just super hungry. I have days like that sometimes. I even talked to my dr.'s office about it. They told me it's normal and to just eat if I am really hungry...not head hungry. I mean stomach about to eat itself hungry!:blink: I just have to make sure I go for a healthy snack, but I will have the snack and not feel bad at all.

I second what TKW says. I too am a calorie counter. As long as I stay in my 1200 range I consider it okay too. So, if I want a cookie or chips it is okay as long as I calculate it in. To me this makes it not a diet but a true lifestyle change. I think I would fail if I never let myself have my favorites again. I am learning moderation.

3 inches for brunch and then another 3 inches? I don't see the problem either! The band doesn't promise you'll nevr feel hungry-although it does help! I find when it's really hot out I get hungry for some reason. Are you stressed about anything?

I eat Subway every blue moon. I don't have problem with eating bread but I do get them to dig out the center and toast my wheat bread. It's so good! Subway is the one food I really miss since being banded. I have had Subway 3 times since being banded.

I too have days like that where I feel like I am always hungry. I just try to be more conscience about the choices.

NJGirl32- I am actually just the opposite when it is hot out or stressed out. The band clampes up and is hard to get Water down.

I have been really stressed this week and I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I have always been a "stress" eater, but lately I have had a better handle on that. Even though I am more concious of it there will always be those "bad" days. I am not going to consider it cheating as long as I stay within my calorie range, which I have been doing. I think I just freak out and think, "I am the only one with a band trying to choke down a freakin sub sandwich?!?" I talk to so many people who are anti-bread and it had me worried!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
