Eating Bread

areellady · June 28, 2007

I have not tried bread since banding April 19th, 2007, and I don't think I will. The horror stories are enough to send me packing and RUNNING the other way!!! I do eat rice, tortillas, crackers(whole wheat kind, more like a piece of really hard cardboard), and have had a piece of pizza since banding and not one problem. I have no fill, but have restriction and have to quit eating after about two cups or I have this chest pain and feel like crap. I have never gotten stuck, slimed or pbed....but the other night as I was riding my bike after dinner, I burped this stuff up and don't know if it was a pb or what. I couldnt stop to investigate what it was that was coming up...I know this will change as I get fills and I will no longer be a pb virgin...oh how sad....and my mom still thinks I am....J/K...lol....Deanna

Gee, not sure I would want to try bread! Doesn't sound very pleasant! My mom just started through the process, but I am awfully close ... July 9th! Just think about what I can't have ... isn't that awful? Wish I didn't enjoy food soooo much! Wouldn't have this problem then, lol!
