Help!! Food Getting Stuck!

Hi Everyone,

I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. My food routinely gets stuck and I'm nervous because I know i have to either drink to force it down or have it come back up again (usually I drink). I conciously take smaller bites, chew more, but it seems that I keep getting stuck around the third bite.

 

I'm wondering if it's the type of food. It seems to occur more frequently with any kind of bread (bagels, tortillas, crackers, etc) than with anything else. Has anyone had that experience?

Before I was banded the doc gave me a list of foods that bandsters have trouble with. Breads, bagels, tortillas, pasta, rice, steak ........ are on the list. I can not eat them and don't miss them much.
