Which foods to avoid for new bands



Recommended Posts

Popcorn is funny.... for me it goes down fine but I spend the next hour bringing up the skins of the kernels... But I eat it alot... Not the kind in the movie theatre... the 100 calorie bags from the store.

I cannot do popcorn.< /p>

Thanks for all the info. I'm really wanting to try scrambled eggs but read that 50% have stuck episodes.

I have no trouble with scrambled eggs. I eat two almost every morning. I cook them lightly scrambles so they are moist.

How about poached eggs? I always wondered why popcorn was on the no-no list of some doctors. I love the Healthy Jolly Time and really miss it.

I have been banded for 4 months and can eat anything. bread is getting more difficult for me.....not stuck, but 3x have had to drink Water to 'push it down'. Other times, bread is perfectly fine.

Rose.... don't fall into the habit of eating and drinking to "push" things down. If bread is getting hard, stop now before you do damage to your band. lots of people who start doing this find out its away to eat "around" the band. You want to optimize your weight loss and use your tool correctly. This means eating good healthy Proteins and veggies.... going easy on the carbs and avoid as much as possible the bads... Ice cream, candy, Cookies..... I will be the first to admit that over the past few months i have falling to the Ice cream devil. And for that i have gained 6lbs since Feb 2012. Which i know is not bad... but it's not good either...

I also know that some doctors are saying that drinking while you eat is ok, but i still follow my Doctor and the Majority of the LB patients here and Not drink while i eat. I wait 30 min. after.

Hope you luck and happy losing,......

Thanks for the reminder. I did talk to my clinic today, they think I am not far from restriction. I just have to remember to keep chewing. The 3x were certainly not stuck episodes, just a little trapped. Have a good day.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
