WHAT FOODS GETS STUCK or give you problems?

:hungry:I had a question - I wanted to see what types of foods bother all the different people out there...Please send a quick reply and let me know what foods bother you. I think this will help others in preventing the same experiences.

Thanks in advance!

The one thing I've had a problem with is Burger. I had it in Chili. I didn't PB I just had indigestion. I eat lost of chicken and fish...and I won't even go near any type of bread out of fear! I have experienced the "golf ball" sensation in my throat a few times, but stop eating at that point and usually walk.

I can't do dry or rubbery chicken. Gets stuck every time.

That's the only food that I consistently have problems with, no matter how much I chew, or how small a bite I take, or how careful I am. NO dry or rubbery chicken for me. Not even dripping in gravy or sauce.

Fish is the worst offender for me.

Followed closely by any stodgy junk such as pizza, ugh. Just not worth the effort.

I can eat bread, I have to be careful, but I can eat it and I can eat sushi too although its very filling.

Steak steak and steak, porkchop and bread early in the mornings and if I ever try to sneak in a little sip with my meal I will be stuck.

For me it is always bread and always scrambled eggs. You would think eggs wouldn't be a problem but holy smokes - every time. I also cannot eat a muffin at all but that is something we definitely don't need anyway.

Well, for me, it's mashed potatoes! Can't do it!! I don't like gravy w/ my taters (I know. . I'm strange), and in order for them to go down, I have to drown them in gravy. . so really. . .what's the point?

Fish is good, but it has to be really moist, or I have to have something to dip it in. Since it takes so long to eat, the longer the fish sits on my plate, the drier it gets.

Most meats for me. Even with gravy or sauce and especially chicken whether it be moist, dry, whatever.. it's all the same but I need the protein so bad so I try to muscle it down. And sometimes bread.

Dry white chicken

Boiled eggs

any steak except filet mignon

fried anything

dry tortillas

<p>any deep fried foods, white meat of chicken, beef (unless it's in some sort of sauce), cinnamon rolls, and most bread. Scrambled eggs can give me problems if I eat them too quickly. And fiberous veggies/fruits.</p>

Chicken/Turkey or any type of bird in any shape or form. Does not matter how it is prepared.

Rice

Hamburger

Doughy breads (pizza, doughnuts, etc.)

Potato Chips/Tortilla chips

Pork chops (but I can eat sausage and bacon, go figure)

Cake/Brownies/etc.

Hi! I have read so much on this forum and really need the info but wondered why foods "stick" if you are chewing 30 times. Can you not eat bread because of carbs or you can't process it? Are these foods off limit forever or just in the beginning? I cancelled by-pass surgery in May but sounds like you still have the same limits with potential digesting problems. Also, what does PB mean?
