Got stuck and then sick.

 The first rule of lap band is everyone's bands make their own rules.

You won't know until you try.  So try it slowly.

I can eat soft pretzels.  My husband cannot (we are both banded within a week of each other).

Now the McDonalds debate.  We have 3 kids who are stick thin.  So taking something that they still deem fun away from them isn't for us.  However I now eat different things at McDonalds.  Try the wraps.  They have a Chipotle angus wrap.  I can eat bout 75% of it.  Maybe 3 fries.  :)  

I can no longer eat almonds.  I can't chew them small enough.  Oh well.  

I have given up all breads so wraps are something I pay attention to!!!

But the biggest surprise of things I can no longer have (but the band is just as human as I am I think so who knows in time it may change with fills and what not) but I can no longer have any ice in my drinks.  No matter how long after drinking it is if it's too cold it comes right back out. However, I can suck on an ice cube lol!!!
