Besides carbonation is anything an absolute no? or is it all individual just have to give things a try and hope that you don't get stuck?

My surgeon told me under no circumstances should I attempt sword swallowing.

Carbonation is the only absolute no

...though swallowing glass would probably be frowned upon too.

Lol you guys are hilarious! I very rarely actually Lol when I type lol but I did. Well done.

Not true! You just have to chew the glass into very small pieces.

And you could chew that sword up, too. If you were really in need of getting some iron.

Food eating comps are generally not recommended

You're gonna find many people who know how to tolerate carbonation....with their Dr.'s blessing....

I drink beer...soda's I gave up long before being banded for obvious health reasons....but I have a beer or two..or three...at least once a week....

I heard peanut butter was a big no-no....I'm not likely to try it to find out myself.

all my dr told me was no carbonation

otherwise anything goes for me...but with each doctor, there are variances...

Carbonation is not an absolute no. There are people on here whose doc says they can have carbonation.

The book True Results gives you says carbonation is ok. So there are some who are actually putting it in writing. But I'm not going to chance it.

Trying to eat in a hurry is a no go now.

I think this motto plays out in my head

"If you don't have time to chew, be prepared to spew"

I heard peanut butter was a big no-no....I'm not likely to try it to find out myself.

Not true...peanut butter is a great slice of protein. Wouldn't recommend taking a big tablespoon out of the jar, but in moderation, there's no "band reason" not to eat it.

That is so weird cause my surgeon never said anything about sword swallowing.
