I find myself double-posting between here and LBT or here and Facebook, but I like having this record for myself and hopefully I have more readers than my 1 faithful commenter :) that don't see the other posts.
This restriction thing is killing me. I'm in a bit of denial that I just can't eat certain foods anymore--just a few minutes ago, actually, I discovered that bread seems to be the common denominator. I ate half of a panini last night and sat there for about 10 minutes to keep from it coming right back up (I was in Barnes & Noble and didn't want to cough it up in a public bathroom). I even told DH last night that I didn't think I could get that specific sandwich again because of the bread. So what did I do today? I nuked it and thought that the bread being softer would make it better. Nope--two or three bites in and I was in the bathroom. DH woke up from hearing me and took the rest of the sandwich away, since he knew I would have tried again.
Some possible good news is that I might have found a snack food that fills me up (my biggest conundrum for the past few months). I'm not 100% sure yet, but preliminary tests indicate that pretzels may just do the trick. They never filled me up before, but since my last fill, they really top me off. We'll see though!
HOLY MOLY!! I miss you all!!!!

you dont have to give up bread altogether. this is actually a good thing. bread is very fattening and once you are having trouble with it you know that your band is near where it should be as far as fills go. you can eat small amounts of bread. but it will have to be toasted. crunchy goes down. microwaving it was the worse possible thing you could do it makes it doughy and it sticks. you can eat most of the foods you always enjoyed except you have to eat them in smaller quantities. i always would eat great amounts of food. i would look at how big a portion i was going to get at a restaurant over something i would rather have. now you dont have to do that anymore. and wait until you see how much less money you spend on food. that was something i never even anticipated. but a happy surprise.
