Thank you for all the advice, it is encouraging. My family is stressing me out because they think I am not getting enough to eat.

I have tried ground beef that has been run through the grinder with lots of ketchup on it, chicken which was cooked in the crockpot and moist, egg salad with ff mayo on it. I am trying to chew a million times but I am not sure whats going wrong. I have talked with the physcians assistant and I go back to doctor in 4 days so I am trying to hold off.

I was banded on 2/6/08 and was suppose to be able to eat some protein. It seems like everytime I try and eat proteins, I get stuck and end up PBing. I am PBing everyday and it is very frustrating. I am not a big fan of the protein shakes and have tried them in different smoothies. I am going to try some of the suggestions, like drinking hot tea before meals and not eatting solids until later in the day. But I am so frustrated and doubting my decision.
