Up until a couple of days ago I was going along quite nicely with no problems....Then!!!!....... I had a snack of anchovies and corn chips (4 chips).... Well didn't that upset the apple cart!!!

I felt like someone had punched me in the chest and I couldn't even swallow my own saliva......... Then came the "sliming"........ You can bet your bippy that I won't be tucking into that combination again......:whoo:

How about you fellows...... Any Problems??

Pasta is a definite no nowadays. Thats fine though because its got to many carbs but being an Italian thats tough to deal with.

You know. I too have had problems with certain foods and i was thinking 'o ill just not eat that anymore'

But my doc told me, actually DONT avoid that food. It you eat a small amount of it and dont get stuck that food will stay with you for a long time.

So i tried it and he is right.

Example: Eat some fried rice and it got stuck bad. Tried it again few weeks later (Much smaller quantity) and i got full quick on it but it didnt get stuck. THis is not a food i should just AVOID at all costs.

Of course i should avoid foods that are bad for me. (Funny how candy NEVER gets stuck)

Funny, no breads for me either. It's weird how it works because croûtons have become my bread replacement. If I'm really missing bread, that what I have with no problem.

Eggs---get this, I can have hard boiled eggs or fried eggs, but when it comes to scrambled or omelet......big NO NO! Funny Huh!

I LOVE cabbage rolls but alas they were not for me.... at least the night I tried them... so I peeled off the cabbage and just ate the inside meat/rice combo... that was fine.

Also one of my fav. foods since banding is Ham salad... well the last time I ate it... PB'd big time... don't know what's up with that! Last night for dinner I had chicken breast cut up tiny with onions/celery/mayo and it was fine...

Trial and error I guess.

I promised my nutritionist that I'd give up Choc. for a week! Instead when I want something sweet I will have 5 prunes as a healthy substitute... so far, so good.

Romaine Lettuce of all things. I seem to get stuck everytime I eat romaine lettuce.

I have my biggest difficulty with chicken... I can eat pizza, and bread (small portions, chew, chew, chew)... but no matter how I try chicken... it hurts way too much!

My wife has trouble with chicken. She was banded the same day as me. I don't normally have trouble with Chicken. I work at a surgery center that does lap bands, and I hear of a lot of people that have trouble with chicken.

I think it's ironic that a good food (low in calories, fat... and high in protein) is something that I can't eat... but ice cream is sooo easy!

Thanks for letting me know, I thought I was the only one.

I tried a little of everything over T'giving. The mashed potato's and green bean casserole went down fine but turkey and stuffing was a rough go. Unfortunately the pumpkin pie also went down fine, time to get back to the Protein Shakes.
