I'm actually scheduled for my band this Friday. (Having minor issues with my ins at the very last minute. -_-) For whatever reason I am obssessed with googling what can and can't be eating with the band constantly. It kinda makes me wish I had chosen the sleeve instead. I LOVEEE bread, I LOVEEE rice, I LOVEEE sushi, etc...The sleeve seems so much easier in being able to still continue to eat those foods, just in MUCH smaller portions. I know I should stay away from those foods regardless but I hate that it won't be a matter of choice with the band but a matter of getting sick n if it's worth it. Ughhh...

I have heard many say sushi is still edible with the band. Some have said whole wheat breads are a go, especially if you toast them. Cheap white bread or doughy bread just clogs the opening.

Remember that everyone has different reactions to foods; you may tolerate something that another cannot eat.

It's been 2 1/2 yrs since getting my band and I can eat whatever I want, just in very small quantities. The only thing I can't tolerate is pizza crust. I keep trying it and trying it - my band has yet to accept it. I can eat bread (only 1 small pc), Pasta, rice, meat, and everything else. Cept Pizza Crust. U might be the same way - I know there are many people that r. Good luck! I wouldn't trade my band for anything - even if it meant I couldn't eat those things again!

I've been banded 9 months with 7.6 cc's in a 10 cc band. I can eat everything pretty much as long as I don't try to drink at the same time. We are all so different so don't think just because one person can't eat certain things that you won't be able to.

That's all I could ask for!!! If I can successfully eat a couple (to a few bites) of the things I love I would be more than thrilled. Here's hoping n praying! Glad to hear u love ur band!

      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.
