I was banded 7/2/07 and had one fill so far. My next fill appt is 10/15/07. I have tried many foods so far and I am really afraid to eat meat. It seems I can get away with a bite or 2 of something then it will get stuck after that. I can eat hard boiled eggs but scrambled eggs get stuck. Spaghetti got stuck. A typical day of eating looks like this: B: coffee with lite 1/2 and 1/2

Snack: couple of almonds Lunch: 1 or 2 hard boiled eggs with low fat mayo

Snack: coffee/lite cream, some nuts Dinner: soup or baked potato or a cup of Wendy's chili. I just bought muscle milk as I had stopped doing shakes...my hair is "shedding" .....cant bear to say falling out, so I will do protein shakes. Just have a hard time fitting them in! Does this sound ok? Why do so many foods get stuck? Hubby says I eat too fast and dont chew well. I think I do though.

BlooEyez - when you have your 2nd PB, try to stick with liquids for the rest of the day. You may have lucked out. Usually if you PB, you will be significantly swollen and the stoma can be more constricted than normal, meaning your chances of repeat PBs are MUCH MUCH higher.

Thank you Wheetsin! Hopefully it won't happen again ... I wasn't following "the rules" and didn't chew well enough. I have gotten things stuck before but this time I knew it wasn't going to stay down. It came up quickly and I felt fine afterwards but all I could think about was my stomach pushing up through my band

Going to see my doc and having a fluoro this weekend
