I have been banded since Oct 2011 but finally just got restriction 3 weeks ago with my 4th fill. After this fill there are foods that i just cant have no matter how well i chew before i could eat 1small piece of pizza now not even one bite ground beef nope not now peanut butter nope i love peanut butter today realize even scrambled eggs get stuck. BUT i can still have my ground turkey tuna moist chicken an salad.

What are some foods that you can nolonger have?

I can't tolerate grapefruit. It gets stuck every time. I haven't tried any other citrus.

I have problems with bread, shrimp, chicken breast and pork. So glad i love fish! The funny thing ... i can eat egg whites, but i cannot eat a whole egg with the yolks... i know weird!

It's funny you should mention scrambled eggs. I realized last week I too have the same issue! I can however, eat scrambled egg whites without any issues. And ground beef is ok as long as it is not well done or dry. Then we have some MAJOR issues!

I am glad to see i am not the only that cant eat the whole egg, but can eat egg whites.

Can't tolerate breads but can have little garlic toasts with bruschetta and olive tapenade. I can eat scrambled eggs carefully but not a fried egg (get sick every time). I can eat a filet mignon medium rare but not a sirloin. Some refried bean skins I have trouble others fine. I can eat leaf lettuce dark but not so much iceberg. It's weird how some days go down better than others. But bread is the devil!!!! For me.

I *can* eat almost anything. But there are lots of things I choose not to eat, since I try to get as much nutrition into my little stomach as I can and not waste precious stomach space with filler junk. For me, junk would be stuff like pizza crusts, more than a bite or two of Pasta, crackers, breadsticks, iceberg lettuce- anything that would fill me up but not give me Protein or Vitamins in return.

The only thing that really gives me trouble is an orange. If I try to eat a section of orange, all the membranes get stuck and I can't then eat anything else for a while, until that's all moved past the band.

If, instead, I slice the orange into thin rings, I have no troubled eating it.

The one food that has proved to give me problems has been biscuits and dry white meat chicken breast.I had my first stuck eposide with a bisuit, Never again I tell you. I am hopefull my list doesn't grow to large. I really don't like bread, I pretty much gave up rice a long time ago and pasta is a maybe for me. I don't really care of it anyways. These things seem to give the most problems. If I have to give up baked potatoes I may die. lol. I love them.

Well I eat everything almost..but I drink alot of water before any meal and between bites ..it helps ALOT.

I haven't found anything that really bothers me yet. I've only had one full to date and don't believe it is working. Have never had anything cone back up or even gotten that stuck feeling I hear so much about. Really thinking my band is not tight enough. Lost a ton of weight first month but now I'm at a stand still!

i dont think there is nothing i cant have or are is considered off limits...

i just choose to eat better quality foods

i just chew alot, take very small bites and eat slow.
