fluffycat 1 Posted August 19, 2008 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.

CapitolChick 1 Posted December 13, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKAYLA98 0 Posted December 13, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobody's Girl 0 Posted December 15, 2008 No Breakfast. And no Pasta. Pasta even got stuck in my band when it was completly unfilled, so I haven't even TRIED it now that my band is filled. bread, tortillas, cakes, and stuff like that gives me trouble as well.
