This may sound crazy to some but....I have tryed brussel sprouts again today for lunch a small piece of fish and 2 sprouts...well i could only get half my meal eattin befor i felt the OMGOODNESS feeling starting.....so I stopped eatting and I did ok.......so my question is this...if i have one sprout with every meal (knowing its gonna give me that STOP feeling) is that ok...till I get to my green zone...or is tht just asking for more problems....thanks

i would stay awake from food you know cause you to get stuck..i love brussel sprouts but if they get stuck i have to leave them alone..right now my band is too tight(goin in for a slight unfill soon), so i would welcome any solid food that didnt get stuck!

Im so not feeling much restriction...thats why I was thinking if I eat one brussel...it will give me that OOOOO STOP feeling....and I wont eat more....sounds crazy ..im sure

Actually, Dee, it makes sense to me and I would use the brussel sprout. Not sure that is the "right" way, but I don't think it can hurt, so why not?!

Actually I think it can hurt to do that. You will be continually aggravating your band and causing irritation and swelling. Long term that can only be a bad thing. Why risk a slip, erosion, reflux... just a few of the things that can go wrong.

I understand the desire to try and make it easier. But it is not worth risking long term damage to your health. Instead, concentrate on cultivating healthy eating habits.

Good luck!

think its a question for the doctor....thanks all...its so tempting

I agree with poster that said purposely trying to irritate the band seems like a really bad idea.
