Which foods can you not eat?



Recommended Posts

I like the idea of chewing it up for the taste and then spitting it out. I may try that! If it was just a matter of eating healthy and exercising, I wouldn't need the band. The band controls portions-yes. But unfortunately, the bad foods go down just fine. I can't eat dense meats no matter how much I chew. Rice is a problem. Pasta and bread are not yet. Everyone's different. It only takes a couple of tries and you will no what to avoid.

Taking bites of food, chewing and then spitting out is not good and you will still be getting some of the calories.

It is a first sign of an eating disorder.

I have 4.6 ccs in a 10 cc band and can not have:

1) bread, biscuts, Bagels, muffins etc.

2) Rice

3) soft Tortillas

4) pizza

5) hotdogs, kilbasa, or anything with skin

Can have:

1) popcorn almost unlimited, a bit of chips, some crunchy crackers, vegetables like carrots, cukes, cherry tomatoes (dip helps a lot)

2) Baked potatoes, chilli and pretty much any type of Pasta.

3) sea food

4) any type of Soup

5) Cereal w/ milk

and more... but that should give you a picture of the can't for me. Most of my "can't" food is not good for me anyway.:)

I have only had one fill so I am at 1cc in my 10cc band. So far I can eat whatever I want which is a little disappointing. Nothing gets stuck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
