3 weeks out and my very first stuck situation

[Astrasmom 1]

I am 2 1/2 months out of my surgery and last night I had Roast Beef for the first time. It will also be my last time. It got stuck even though I had little bits. So beef is not my friend any longer. I will stick to the chicken and fish. I was never really a red meat eater anyway.

I have been post-op for 3 weeks. I go to the dr today for the first time. I haven't had anything stuck yet, but I am trying new foods daily...this has been a huge learning experience... so far 18 pounds down...wooohoooo. I has surgery on Dec 15th, so X-mas was hard, jut since them I have been doing great. sugar free popscicles are my fav and chili from wendy's does good too

Thank you! Also another question how does someone set it up so their ticker automatically shows up on the posts?

Go to the User CP at the top of the screen and then on the left hand side there's a 'signature' option. Cut and paste the code from tickerfactory.com into your signature line.

Mandee,

I am so glad that you said Wendy's chili works.. I think that is my favorite fast food... and it is pretty healthy for fast food...

Equal carbs and Protein and 9 grams of fat.. I figured out this one about 12 years ago when I did the zone diet...

I actually lost 15 pounds eating Wendy's chili....I think it is the Protein in it that makes it work....

Maybe I will be able to have a chili once in a while now...

Whew....not everything is getting cut out...:tt1:

Thanks for sharing..

Jennifer

I need to learn more about this stuck sittuation- how often does this situation come about for someone that is watching to avoid this kinda situation

I am 18 months out and I still have problems with bananas sometimes. Bananas are so soft I think we take a bite that is a little bigger than we should. I think this is it, because when I cut it up to eat in Cereal, no problems. If I try to eat it by itself, stuck. You can chew as well as you want, if that bite is not tiny enough, you may get stuck. Just try real small bites the next time you try it.

After restriction, just about every time you 'forget' and take too big of a bite or forget to chew well. Sometimes it just happens because your band is temporarily too tight. Mine is tight in the mornings so I start with a hot cup of tea when I first get up and I pretty much stick to a Protein shake with milk and a banana in it.

Most times I've found if I take a small bite and chew it to mush, then wait, I can tell if I'm going to have further problems with it and I just pass on the rest.
