why

[Banded Bob 1]

is it that some foods seem to go right through? I was adjusted yesterday for the second time after an unfill. this morning I had some scrambled eggs wich sat in the pouch like they should have. I was elated, as it's the first time the band has worked in months. then for dinner tonight I had a grilled chicken salad. I kept waiting for the full signal, wich never came. I ate the entire salad! so now I'm thinking something has happened to the band. so as a test I had a slice of bread. bad move. the band is definitely still working. it took several minutes of vomiting to get the bread out. so I don't understand why the salad went through so easily?

its because it's easier to chew up...lettace turns in to Water in your stomach which goes right through the band I have had the same problem...that's why I eat more of the chicken than the lettace.

I haven't personally tried eating bread yet, but I have heard some bandsters just cannot tolerate untoasted bread. It gets to a very 'gluey' consistency once it is chewed, and just won't go down. Crackers, toast, and any crunchy carb go down much easier for some, but bread can be troublesome.

I haven't had a fill yet, but was stunned that I got fried rice and a small chili from Wendy's in me yesterday. It took just over 2 hours, but never felt full like I have been with Soup. However, I wound up feeling it later, lol. Needless to say, I won't even try that much again.

I haven't had a fill yet, but if I eat my Proteins first, especially with salads, then I feel it longer... But, lettuce is a weakness for me. I LOVE IT w/ a cilantro lime vinaigrette or a homemade honey, olive oil and dijon mustard. My biggest issue right now is that I've had so much chicken, I could CLUCK!
