Food Mysteries

It is so weird to figure out the things I can eat with the lapband. Some food that works good for me, really hurts someone else. Take rice for example. I have discovered that I can't eat rice. It hurts. Really hurts. I think because it swells once it gets in my tummy. But I know I can't eat it, or I will just throw it up. And bread is tough too. But one food I can't eat, which should be a good thing but just makes me sad is french fries. Every time I try to eat one I regret it. I also notice it is hard to have sugar.
Figuring all this out makes it kinda scary to eat since you don't know how it will make you feel. I do notice if I have no carbs and straight protein, I don't hurt at all. I haven't been brave enough for steak, but I assume if it is tender enough, I'll love it. And I seem fine with fruits and veggies. So what my body is telling me is that I can only eat healthy things. Go figure.
