Things I Can No Longer Eat Comfortably....

Ok here it is, no scrambled eggs, and no kind of potato! I had two episodes of being stuck after months of reading about being stuck, it finally happened to me. I went to Denny's with husband and ordered a veggie omelette after one bite and chewing and chewing with more chewing I swallowed and lord.....I though I was having a heart attack! I could not hardly take a breath and my chest right between my breast felt like something big was "stuck". The scary part was not really being able to breathe, then I started to get hiccups and felt like I was going to throw up.

 

Next episode I think was a few weeks ago I had just one teaspoon of potato salad....same thing

 

 

I was banded 12-01-2011 and I have a 10cc band. I have had 5 fills, and now have about 7.5cc in band now and I think Im good for a while. Never really experienced untill I had my last fill last month. But the scale has started to move finally...I was losing inches but no pounds. now im losing pounds

I was banded in 11/09/09 and same thing... but i have the 14cc band. but at 7.5.. that's when i really started feeling the difference and things started to really not agree with me. And it's when the weight started coming off in June also.

I'm back at 9cc in my band after a complete unfill for my Tummy Tuck. Got 5 put back at 8wk post op and another 4cc yesterday.

Keep up the great work.

Scrambled eggs for me, lo mein, chicken, cucumbers. Hmm, what else? Right now I'm down to eating hormel 99% FF turkey chili, Refried beans, Boca Burgers and Lean Cusine Sante Fe Rice and Beans. I'm in a 10cc band and only 3cc's since late January.

I agree with you ladies. I have been banded for a year now. (June 8,2011) It was until this last fill I have had a couple of NO NO moments. Before that I could almost eat anything. Granted I gave up bread when I got lap band as person choice.

I love eggs but they don't love the lap band. This is the first time since having the band I feel all the things I am reading. Feeling full, feeling stuck and etc. I was thinking maybe I was too tight when actually It's becuase I have always been eating too much. Because for the first time and months I haven't been hungry after eating. I am really feel full yeah!

I friend told me to add a teaspoon of milk or water to scrambled eggs when you make them at home makes them fluffy.
