Hello everyone. Not long ago someone posted a fun topic where we listed all the foods we were no longer able to eat--I really enjoyed that one...let me know that I am not the only one who is no longer able to eat some of my favorites.

But...now I have a new question. I was filled to 6cc last week and I think I am getting really close to my green zone...however...I have also noticed that I have been having difficulty with foods--such as chicken (especially when it is DRY, salad, etc. I am wondering you can help by listing some of the foods/types of foods that you can eat since you are at or near your green zone.

Thanks bunches.

When I got to the green zone I had to finally say no to bread!! I also had trouble with dry meat, and broccoli. But really NO BREAD!!

Oops, I thought it was about what food we couldn't eat.

I could eat pretty much everything except bread, dry meat and broccoli, as long as I ate it PROPERLY!!!!!

I could sometimes eat very thin crust pizza. It was one of those things that sometimes it would bother me and sometimes it wouldn't. Also, chili was like that -- sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I know this sounds like a cop out answer, but I don't eat anything special. In fact, there isn't anything I can't eat. I just make sure what I do eat is healthy, for instance lean chicken breast rather than a fatty burger.

As a general rule, I make sure all meats are very moist. I marinade a lot, like pork chops and chicken, because if the meat is dry I'm far more likely to get stuck.

Whatever I want but I've changed my eating habits so it's mostly healthy foods. No fast food and very little of anything that begins as white. Small portions of flour products, much smaller dairy and no sugar. But that's all by choice. I can eat whatever I want as long as I'm mindful of how big my bites will be.

For me...I to am just getting to green and have had more stucks then Id like...mostly because I forget to chew...30 yrs of old habit dont die easy...but I find moist chicken...meatballs...cottage cheese...chrackers...delux protein bars..apples with out skin...green beans..yogurt...very smll bite of noodles every now and then...and a english muffin if Im real careful and eat slow !

Good luck on your learning road...

I am at 7cc in 10cc band. I was filled to that pount about 10 weeks ago. The first few weeks were really a struggle. Couldn't eat hardly anything, but I think it was more my fault than anything. I have since learned how to slow down and chew a lot more and am not having that issue so much anymore. What I CAN NOT eat is bread, pasta, rice, tortillas, most red meat... I CAN eat (if chewed properly) chicken, fish, veggies, salad (I request it to be finely chopped), mashed potatoes... I don't eat much variety because I am full so fast. I get my protein in first and foremost, then I usually do a salad and finish filling with whatever veggies I can get down. Over the last 6 weeks my band has seemed to loosen a little and I am considering a small fill at my year appt in October. I won't see them again until April, so I want to make sure I am good now. Good luck!

Thank you so much sHeLLaBee for your response...that is what I was looking for...some actual foods that I can try. I am having such a hard time and getting stuck on what I though was good stuff. Thanks

Edame beans, filet mignon, fish, Shwans chicken breast, pork loin smoked but just put of smoker too dry later, whole grain pasta, chili, nachos if careful, all fruit but oranges I can eat mandarins, poached eggs, crisp bacon if careful, deli meats, cheese...most everything but raw veggies and dry meat or rice and bread...chew chew chew and tiny bites!!!!
