I cant eat bread at all. I do better with peanutbutter and apples or celery. Use he Natural PB. Its better for you. Good luck.

i was told no penut butter cuz it sticks to the walls of the band?

[Banterwonder 63]

The band is outside of the stomach, so it is impossible for anything that goes in your mouth to "stick" to the band.

You may be able to eat Peanut Butter at some point in your journey. The web site for one manufacturer lists any nut butters as "sticky", (duh!), and therefore could be a problem food.< /p>

Everyone needs to experiment and learn for themsevles.....You've mentioned 2 foods that are on my "Do Not Eat List"

Peanut Butter, and bread. That means no more sandwiches, for me. other people can.

For me Peanut Butter is a no no. I was eating it straight out of the the jar. A lot of it.

Personally I don't think salad is a slider. For lunch I bring 3 oz of chicken breast, one piece low fat laughing cow cheese, mini sweet peppers (so cool and no cutting!). If I am going to have baby carrots I include an individual serving container of hummus (super convenient). And fruit (grapes, cherries). I pack the night before so there is no morning rush.

I meant to add I think a PBJ would be way to many carbs.

Honk! I've recently discovered sweet mini peppers, too and love them! But, this may seem like a stupid question...but do you eat the seeds? Ive only cut them up and made sausage and peppers (chicken or turkey)...but I haven't tried them with hummus...that sounds yummy!

I can no longer eat any type of sandwich. I think in the beginning they sometimes tell you a list of foods that may cause problems. After you have been banded for awhile and reach the green zone you will figure out which foods you have to avoid. I have always kept fairly tight restriction and eat small salads often. They are in no way a slider and are so much better for you than a PBJ.

I do not eat the seeds. I eat them raw, down to the stem area and avoid the seeds. Some brands have fewer seeds then others. I buy them at costco large bag for 4.80.

Low sodium deli meat, laughing cow cheese and cucumbers are always a good on the go lunch. Use the cucumbers as you would a cracker. I also find that I eat a lot of greek yogurt and Cereal for lunch now. Very filling.

What kind of greek yogurt do you use LB4Me? Can you have the kind with fruit in it after awhile? I was told just plain in the beginning.

I cannot tolerate bread at all but I did try Orowheat whole wheat sandwich thins the other day and was able to eat it without getting stuck. They have 100 cal, and 5g protien. I toast them so now I eat a sandwich for lunch from time to time. Great too if you ever miss the occasional hamburger. I also like to put a hamburger or sandwich meat inside a lettuce leaf in place of the bread.

I like the greek yogurt because it has more protien and less sugar than regular yogurt. I eat the flavored kinds like honey, blueberry and clementine flavors.

Chobani lowfat with fruit on the bottom. I haven't had a problem with it.
