bread

[slimmy120 2]

I have had 4 fills so far , but can still eat 3 slices of german rye bread in one day -- is this normal, had op 6 mnths ago lost 25 kilos so far.Do i need more fill? doctor said to me last time do you want a fill or leave it, i said give me a bit of a fill, dont go back for another 3 mnths. Only had one stint of bringing up a bit of saliva, that was after ate a banana, havent really had much vomiting since having operation done initially.Am 73 kilos now.Any opinions.:crying:

I can occasionally eat a piece of crust from a crusty italian or french bread, but that's about it. I can't say anything is out of the norm. As long as you're happy with your results, it's fine.

My doc would say "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" and leave it at that. At some point we have to make good food choices; the band will not stop you from eating things like ice cream and chocolate either.

So if you are still losing weight or maintaining at a weight that you are happy with, then eating the bread isn't a problem. A slice of rye is not an unhealthy food choice, imo. Sounds yummy, actually. :wink:

If you aren't losing weight and want to be, you can either choose not to eat bread just like choosing to not eat lots of ice cream, or you can get another fill to make it harder to eat bread.

Will stick to try one piece of bread a day, but healthy bread, and no butter on it. I just thought lap banders could not eat bread it got stuck, but i must admit i chew and chew and chew slowly. Even had a hot cross bun this morning, minus the butter for brekkie.:biggrin:

I can eat bread ok, but just about anything at McDonalds gets stuck. Fries, egg mcmuffin, chicken nuggets... all of it. But I ate a soft dinner roll on Easter with no problems. So, I guess it's pretty individual!
