Im kinda knew.. so dont know if this has been done before, but i know alot or all of us choke or simply cannot get certain foods down.. Just wondering how much they differ from person to person.. heres mine

bread.. but thats a given

rice... which sucks! i <3 rice

any raw veggies

grapes and apples

now.. on a bad day, nothing stays in, but those are the always no-no:hungry:

chicken is very rough for me. Hamburger meat, especially if it's a patty. Meatloaf is better, but not great. Bread is murder, unless it's toasted to the point of being petrified.

My husband has a recipe for chicken baked in 98% fat free cream of chicken Soup ... thinking it might be a bit easier to get down. Hope so ... I love the taste of chicken.

It's been 5 days since my second fill. I got sick for the first time on flounder and broccoli. I thought I was going to die. I almost couldn't breathe. Was it the fish or broccoli.....I can't go through that again......

Mostly likely the broccoli, i find, unless its mush i cant eat it.

I don't know if anyone wants to try this, but I figured it may help chicken lovers. I love chicken so I'll be hard to not be able to eat it. I see that alot of people have problems with it. If you take any chicken part, season it with salt and pepper (helps retain moisture it the flesh, just like us humans), then sear it in olive oil (locks in moisture), and bake or sautee slowly (covered) in any kind of sauce untill the meat falls apart. It will work for even white meat (which I love). This tecnique is gauranteed to deliver the most succulent, moist, juicy meat.... just a suggestion. I hope it helps.

Hi Guy,s

I,m just enquiring can you ( not should you ) eat Duck, like roasted or in some type of Asian foods, its usually fatty and not as dry.

Yep steak is very high on my list...And there is no bread or flour torillas...I had some problems with pork chops too, but I still love them and have to take extra time to try to get them good and chewed

If you have the patience to cook duck and do it right then you deserve the right to eat it. I'm hopeless with duck but I think I'll give it a try again because trying to get chicken down isn't working.

Never eaten duck... dont think i ever would.. is it similiar to chicken? is there white and dark meat?

Bread unless it is very toasted

Red meats

Shrimp or lobster this is the worst very hard.

Pastries

Rice unless it is soaked with Soup, ketchup or any liquid to make it slippery

Usually eat a lot of fish, chicken, and Pasta with lots of sauce.

Oh, I forgot. I can,t drink milk when I am starting to open the band it turns into cottage cheese and I PB. Maybe body heats transforms milk into almost a kind of cheese.

Chicken, no matter what color or how it is prepared gets stuck. I was told no pasta, rice, bread, crackers, pizza, hamburger or pork. Fish works well and I eat a lot of veggies. I feel like I am growing fins.

I'm one year out and there isn't any food I can't eat.... I don't know if thats good or bad LOLOL !!!!

It's so funny to read the messages here, because for the last 10 days after my 2nd fill, I haven't been able to eat any meat, bread or fish. Everything goes down and then oopps it is stuck. Crap, now I try to make it slide down but, nope it's coming back up, yikes. I've been thinking, I must need an unfill or something, is this even normal?? I called my doc's nurse and she said, if I continued to be able to eat other proteins then it would be ok, but they want you to be able to eat meats to help the band work harder. I guess I'm gonna wait for a few more days and see what happens, I'm getting a bit of my reflux back which sucks. It's so wonderful to go here and read everyones thoughts and accomplishments. I am down from 237 to 222 since being banded 8/28. Slowly but surely!!!

No Bread, no donuts, no soda. All these make me throw up and makes my chest hurt before throwing up. I can eat a slice of pizza or tortillas, crackers, cake with no problem.

why is rice a problem? Are we talking sticky rice or Uncle Bens instant rice that doesn't stick together?
