Subway

It is possible for a banded person to eat part of a subway sanwich, although not like a real sanwich where you bite into it.  I'm OK with that because I wore braces as a kid and still tend to pull apart my food. Kathy, I thought of you while I was figureing out how to go about eating at Subway.

I don't know what it is about my desire to eat Subway.  Prior to my banding, it never really grabbed my attention.  Now, though...I seem to want it all the time. It's got to be the bread. Cathy

One of the things I learned when I was on Medifast was that smell is often enough-I love the smell of baking bread.  I was happy to eat my veggies and crust surrounded by the smell of the bread.

The only bread I've been able to eat since being  banded - and I don't eat it very often, and when I do it's just little bitty nibbles of it - is well toasted wheat bread. There is something about the smell of Subway, but I just don't give in to it.  I'd rather not suffer.  But, none of us are alike in what we can and can't eat, so there may be some of you that can eat it.  It's all trial and error. Maybe we should bottle the smell of subway. Tonja

Well, let me clarify-it was pulling apart the sanwich and eating the crust and the veggies-I did try one bite and I KNEW that it wasn't going to work so I just set out with an alternate method. My mom is a great baker-her wheat rolls are famous in the family-but she is gracious and let's me pick one apart and enjoy the parts I can.  As she put it-if you ate the entire thing no one else could eat it either, so it's really not waste. Those are the only breaded things I've eaten-I have to pull breading of everything else I've tried.  It's not a carb thing, I can't eat it-but the awesome wonder of the band is, once I KNOW it will not work, I really do quit wanting it.
