Welcome!

Losing 6 kg (13.2 lbs) in a bit less than 4 weeks is actually better than average. Average weight loss with the band is 1-2 lbs/week.

Why are you not eating bread? Did your dietitian forbid it? Bread generally isn't a problem to get past the band until you've gotten some fill in your band, and even then it might be do-able if you toast it first. But if bread is a binge food for you, you might as well stay away from it.

Congrats on starting your weight loss surgery journey!

hi there wanttobeskinny.... no... im very lucky, i dont miss bread but others here have had that issue. Dont fret about your weight loss... its early days. you will improve as time goes by. Perhaps the fill will be just the extra help you need right now. By the way... im from TAsmania.

I'm from Perth too

If you're missing bread, try some toast? I'm crazy for bread and I've found that toasted Turkish bread scratches that itch for me.

Mind you I'm going for my first fill Friday so who knows what I can eat after that.

Hi from Sydney!! Just curious on the bread front, we're you told no bread at all or just avoiding it out of choice? I've still been ok to eat bread, just finding I'm taking very small bites to allow me to chew up and get it down. I've been fortunate to still have the occasional sandwich, which due to eating it so slowly, I find I may be lucky to finish half.
