Bander question

[AA1234]

HI Banders (and any bypassers that can help). I am struggling to find the best foods to eat as a bander. I know we are supposed to have dense foods as these stay in the pouch longer.

What are the vest dense foods? I eat potato but don't like to eat too much. I also eat a lot of salad and crackerbreads but although they are healthy they are not the best texture for banders.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

I too am struggling with the dense foods. I do eat jacket potatoes with w variety of fillings and have had chicken and salad in wholemeal pitta bread but apart from that the rest of my foods seem to be slider foods.
