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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
