What can't you eat



Recommended Posts

I am about to go for my 1st consult to get banded and I am wondering if there is anything you cannot eat. Whether the DR. told you, or if it just makes you sick. I am curious how it will be.

Depending on how your doctor has his practice set up, but they should either have a nutritionist working with you, or at least some type of printed info that gives you an idea on what you should or should not eat.

I had my band done on 5/4, so I've been doing some minor experimenting on foods for the last month. Sometimes it just depends on the band that day, something I could eat fairly well last week, I just can't this week. If you'll read through some of the other 'food' threads, you see others trials and tribulations with many types of foods... some good and some not so good.

The lapband seems to be a walking adventure at times... but I'm glad I did it. I'm down almost 50 lbs and feel so much better already.

Good luck!

What can't I eat? People. Lambs tongue (yick) Cars & Buildings (although I am yet to try, I am just assuming I can't) Lots of things.

What I can do, is eat most things that are healthy, in moderation. I prefer to concentrate on what I *can* eat rather than dwell on what I can't. Makes for a happier person.

That said, what people can and cannot eat always differs.

Best of luck.

I cant eat brownies. I guess that is a good thing. But when I did try and eat them I think they clogged my stomach or something. Because I had a stomach ache for about an hour. Other then that everything gors down to easy. I need a fill.

I -- this has constantly changed throughout the past 5 months.

Nothing to dry - and right now - only 1/4 cup and nothing fiberous - spinach - broccolli - lettice - squash.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
