What are you NOT ABLE to eat?



Recommended Posts

Doughy breads don't work well for me and sometimes Pasta so I tend to avoid those. Also, I hear many people say salad but for me it goes down tooooo easy (slider food for me). I have to be very careful w/ bananas too as those can be very painful for me if not chewed in small bites to mush. Lastly, Cereal doesn't go well w/ me. I found the crunchy Fiber cereals are ok though. Dry meat I won't even go there. How about you? :)

Raw broccoli is a big no-no, and dry chicken breast and dry pork chops too. Broiled chicken like the already cooked , good smellin ones from the grocery store are fine ......mmmmmmm....... sometimes Pasta gives me a little trouble. Tonight I made spaghetti and had a mini stuck for a few minutes.....Everything else is fine for me,

Oh I had forgotten spaghetti, slippery little suckers get away for my teeth and then wrap themselves around the band yeuk!! I have to say that I had a very unfortunate experience with a Big Mac that got stuck in carpark of MD's and I tried to wash it down with a cola - it can only be compared to a heart attack pain followed by a mount Vesuvius eruption........ Carbonated drinks do NOT work for me.

I have seen sushi mentioned a couple times now, why the trouble with sushi!? Also, what happens with rice? I would think since it was small it wouldn't be too bad....

Lately mine has been salad crazy I think...I always enjoyed a good salad and so this does restrict what I order on a menu. I also have trouble with dry meat so usually my go to is fish.

Rice (especially sticky rice) is a big no-no for me. I haven't tried sushi, but I doubt I will due to the rice.

Muffins have given me problems in the past, but if I take tiny tiny bites, I can eat a small one. But I rarely do.

bread also gives me problems if I eat more than a few tiny bites. I usually just try to avoid bread. I haven't tried spaghetti because I heard horror stories :)

I can eat most things if I just slow down and take small bites. I have problems when I forget and take big bites or don't chew extremely well.

Anything gluggy like sushi rice might cause problems. When I was at green zone, there were many things that were difficult to eat. I could probably still have eaten all of them if I chewed enough and took smaller bites but I couldn't really be bothered. These included shrimp, beef that was well-done, rice, bread and chicken breast.

Now I'm relatively loose, by choice, and I still have difficulties with rice. Some things are just more uncomfortable to eat when you're banded.

I keep my band on the loose side. I can eat anything, but I do not eat any white bread (just because I chose to eat healthy bread) and little Pasta just because they both expand so much. They waste space in my stomach that could be better served/satisfied with other things! I always quote my nut, "love what you eat!" I still love to eat and make the food I eat worth it nutritionally, is enjoyable and what I want! I figure if I am going to eat so little it is going to be worth it!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
