I remember in the beginning, I was able to eat just about anything once in my solid stage but as I got more and more fills, any type of bread, Pasta, pizza, sushi, tortillas were a no go! I'm at a 6.7 cc in a 10 cc band and I think I'm at my limit. So as you get tighter, most people simply cannot get these food items to go down comfortably but I know some people without any problems, not sure how filled they are though?

I have not been able to eat a sandwich or wrap from day one (2 1/2 years). The good news is that you can get creative and find things that help satisfy the crave. I can eat a few reduced fat wheat thins with my sandwich stuff on them (chew, chew, chew), or wrap the stuff in a piece of lettuce. or roll up a thin slice of lunchmeat with things inside .......

I was just thinking about what I will and will not be able to eat moving forward. I love sandwiches. I hate the idea of having to get them up, but if I have to, then I will. I was good for making them w/ bulky rolls before surgery and have no plan of trying such a thing now that I have the band. However, I was hoping I would be able to try Fiber one wheat things etc...I guess time will tell. I dread having anything to do with getting food "stuck"...

I totally agree with you on that. but i know that we can get creative with out sandwich craves. during my pre-op diet i made a BLT without the bread. i jus wrapped it up in the lettuce with tomatoes and mayo. it was awsome and i didnt even miss the bread. i also read on here that toastin the bread my help it get down easier. i have not had my band filled yet, and right now it is a mental game. so we all gotta do our best and stay strong and remember y we got the band in the first place. im not perfect but im trying my best good luck on your band journey

Today I ate a small turkey and cheese wrap from subway for dinner. I do not have a fill and have not tried bread, rice, or pizza. I usually can't eat much but I was starving. It went down fine but I felt stuffed afterwards. I have lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks so I am not complaining. 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.
