I was banded in April, 2008 and have lost 110 lbs (I have 70 left to go). I do not regret it at all. I exercise (couldn't before due to weight), work better, sleep better, eat healthier, and am generally happier. Congratulations on the surgery

Is there any food that you can't eat or crave.

I don't think there are foods that I can't eat- per say. There are foods that I choose not to eat because the effort of eating is simply not worth it. Take steak for example- I won't eat steak. It would take forever to chew enough to get into my stomach. I don't crave it though. Also, sometimes I avoid breads because they fill me up so fast that I won't get to eat what I really want to eat.

Oh and I don't eat hard candy or chew gum- just cuz I'm scared what would happen should I accidentally swollow.
