Bad Food for the Band

[Mackenzie]

Obviously cheetos and pizza arent practical for any healthy lifestyle...however I was just wondering what some of the foods that havent agreed so well with you and your band. Ive read pasta, and bread..but what else? Id love to learn from other people than making the same mistake! Thanks!

Tell me about it!

I think everyone is different but I know at least a few things I will be steering clear of!

[Mackenzie]

i know a lot of things that i am happy to never eat again because i dont like the way they make me feel and I know how important it is to have every meal packed with nuitrients(sp)! However, i would like to know what has been a problem food so i can put that on my list too )

[Kim2BSlim]

I hear ya! I am gonna add them to mine too! >

I was banded 1/17/08. Down 25 pounds so far... =D> The only thing I've found to have trouble with so far is bread. I kept hearing bread was hard to get down but didn't quite believe it. It definately. No more bread for me. The most important thing i have to keep reminding myself is to chew, chew, chew.

What people can and cannot eat is different for everyone. What you can and cannot eat will change often as well. You just have to go slow, listen to what's happening down there, and know when to let go of something.
