One of my worst stuck expieriences was with a scrambled egg. OWWWW! So now I have a protein shake in place of breakfast and I have my first solid food at the time I normally have a protein shake. Also, I told my surgeon that I couldn't take chicken breasts, that they always got stuck but that chicken thigh meat went down ok. She said that was fine, that she just wanted me to get all my protein in and that if breast meat hurt me, to not eat it, plain and simple. I have gone in twice thinking I would get a fill and didn't and gone in thinking I wasn't getting a fill and got one. They know more than I do at this point, so I will defer to them.

Good luck in your journey!

I have had several pity parties for myself, my husband listens, gives me a kiss, encourages me, and tells me that I have made several changes in my life recently, (quit smoking and band surgery) and that I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Have your blue moment, then pull yourself up and get back in the game! BTW, I was down on myself till I saw my surgeon last month and was told I was doing a great job, It helps to get the encouragement. Chin up, you can do this!
