I miss bread. Warm yeast rolls, thick garlic toast. After surgery I could still toast a slice of bread & make a half sandwich. After my last fill (I have had 6 fills, up to 7cc in an 11cc band) I can no longer tolerate bread. But that's okay. More room for protein :) and sometimes just smelling it is good enough to satisfy my senses.
Ohhhh where do I begin???
BREAD first and foremost... any kind of bread. I still have toast in the mornings, but its ONE slice of very thin bread, toasted to hell...
Pasta - I used to love fettucine alfredo, and baked ziti. The noodles are too big for me now. I do sometimes enjoy about 1/4 cup angel hair with pesto sauce
Rice - both fried and steamed
BIG fat cheeseburgers - I can have burgers, no bun. But its not the same of course
chili cheese french fries
French Toast
Bicsuits and Gravy
Pancakes
and most of all PIZZA!!!!!!!!! I still eat pizza, but now its always thin crust, which is fine, but its nothing like sinking your teeth into a Chicago style deep dish that is so thick, you have to eat it with a fork.
I think that covers is.
NO wonder I was 330 lbs. LOL

I honestly don't really miss any food. If I want it, I eat it. But I do it sparingly.
What I miss is being able to INHALE my food. Like when I see a big plate of pasta and I just want to inhale it. I can't. I have to take it slow (and with pasta, I can't really do much more than a few noodles anyway).

I wanna thank everyone for their positive input... Ive struggled w/ my size and weight as long as I can remember. Its nice to be among a community of people who can share their failures/successes and everything in between! I really enjoyed your comments here cant wait till im able to provide insight to a "newbie" *hugs*
I have only had one fill so far and can still eat pretty much anything...except muffins. Anything fatty I only have a few bites. I never was a soda drinker but for some odd reason I miss it and want it LOL I have had a few little sips of my sons since surgery and wow it was good! As I have more fills Im sure I will be able to eat less and less!
I miss eating with abandon in public. At home, I don't mind slow, chew, portion control. In a restaurant or at work, a little too fast or too big a bite and I have to find a bathroom. It doesn't happen often, but I worry every time. I worry less with friends who know I have the band than events with lots of people. BUT, in the end I am always grateful for my friend who knows when to stop eating because I never did.
