Please help me with ideas for healthy foods that can go down a tight band? Also, food ideas that are naturally small bites or go down easier? Thanks

Hi:

oatmeal for Breakfast goes good. Granola bar - well chewed of course, or rice cakes with Peanut Butter good for lunch, with a cheese stick. You can also crumble up your granola and put it into yogurt so that you can get Fiber and dairy and Calcium.

Those are a few of my suggestions. I look forward to reading what others write.

Take care.

Canned Tuna and Canned chicken Breast works best for me. Sometimes i mix in a small spoonful of mayo to make it moist.

GOOD LUCK!

Greek yogurt.

Soups

So long as you remember that this is a temporary measure until you get to the Dr for that slight unfill. You do not want to stay too tight. It is dangerous and can often lead to weight gain as slider foods are higher in calories and do not keep you satisfied.

When I'm really tight--like after a fill when I'm still swollen---I lean toward stuff like refried beans with cheese, chili, smoked salmon (it's very soft, but moister than tuna, which can cause trouble), protein shakes, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and soups to which I add unflavored protein. (Ordinarily, I avoid soups that aren't really substantial because they can be sliders, but when I'm tight, this isn't a problem.)

Soft foods like oatmeal or scrambled eggs for breakfast. Thin high protein soups, refried beans. My favorite go to food that I keep stocked at all times is chili. It has plenty of protein and flavor so it is satisfying and easy to get down.

Chili ........think protein. If you are too tight to eat a little chili you are too tight.

yogurts, crackers with tuna salad or chicken salad. Chili is good and so is taco meat with beans and cheese.
