Foods you can't eat?

[ShineNSta 0]

Hi guys..I just have a question out there.. For those of you who have had the lap band surgery...what foods have you found that you are no longer able to eat e.g. red meat, bread.

I haven't had the surgery yet and am interested to know which foods I'll need to avoid.:hungry:

So far there is nothing I cannot eat yet, but I have not had a fill yet so that may change-can eat anything in the right portions.

I fear doughy foods. Yeast rolls and doughnuts come to mind.

When I go to a restaurant I will cut the top of the roll off , slather the butter on and enjoy that piece.

The only thing I've eaten that's given me pause (literally) was an I'M-LATE Peanut Butter and toast Breakfast. I ate too fast without liquids, and it took a good 30 seconds for one gob-sized bite to pass.

I have spit out bits of fibrous veggies (celery, asparagus). I didn't have a problem with them, I just couldn't seem to chew them well enough to break up the stringy fibers. Better safe than sorry.

I can't eat soft breads, tortillas and flat bread are good. I can eat crackers but I choose not to eat any except 100% whole grain Kashi crackers which are healthier than your average cracker. No saturated fats and whole grains. I sometimes have a problem with eggs, I need to chew the whites up real good or they seem to get stuck. I don't do any read meat except for ground hamburger because by the time you finish chewing it it's the consistency of dog food. I have to really be careful with raw carrots and chew them up. Everyone is different depending on the restriction with their fill. The first year has a learning curve and you'll figure out what works for you. Good Luck!

One 2" lasagna noodle bite. PB'd me.

One bite of a cold salmon patty. Same result.

So, no cold meats and no noodles for me!

What I can eat one day can totally come back on me the next. Eating slower and chewing better help. There are a few things that never seem to go down like bread, donuts, tortillas, chicken (even chunky chicken salad) steak, pork chops, Pasta and sushi. I havn't had trouble with much else.
