Kissmygrits,

I didn't get my first fill until 6 months after getting banded because I had plenty restriction. We, my surgeon and I, thought save the fills for when I needed them. There is a finite amount of space. I've had two since.

As for what gives me grief, mostly it's rice, and hard cooked egg. Dry chicken can hurt too.

I have trouble with ninja throwing stars. Even with gravy, I can't get them to go down.

What the heck are Ninja Throwing Stars?

Even the sound of them is painful...

I'd suggest poaching your ninja throwing stars. Keeps 'em nice and juicy. That's what I've heard, anyway.

This was tough to pick just one. White meat chicken is probably the worst. Followed closely by Pasta (unless it's cold in a pasta salad), soft bread, steak (except for prime rib), and any vegetable (unless it's overcooked)

This is not like a diet. On a diet, I would be eating a lot of chicken and steamed veggies, neither of which I can eat now. LOL!

dry white meat chicken. UGH!! It's got stuck twice now. should have learned the first time. Dark meat is fine. Sometimes tuna in Water gets a little wierd. I was afraid to eat bread for 3 months. I woofed down a kiddie McDonald's burger last week with no problem......I was furious with myself. I'm trying to tell myself that I can't eat bread.....Maybe after my fill tomorrow that will be a thing of the past....

I answered this before my 3rd fill and said I could eat everthing. Now it's a month later, I've had another fill and things get stuck. I just can't handle bananas and chicken. Afraid to try bread. I could eat a whole box of crackers, popcorn goes down fine and so do nuts. It's kinda crazy isn't it.

I can't eat ravioli, perogies or any Pasta that is firm. I've had a couple experiences with beef, not hamburg, but other beef. It got stuck. And I can agree with ivyrose325, I was very glad and happy as a lark when it finally did come back up. If I pay attention to what I am doing, chew, chew, chew and think about it before you swallow, I seem to be able to do pretty well. Try not to become distracted or try not eat while your mind is absorbed somewhere else. It's risky business. Not to mention can be painful.

I cant eat anything in the morning until I have a pot of hot tea. The worst thing so far are these really good pigs in a blanket that my mom makes, both times i ate them i felt sick for days. The second worst is when i forget to eat, then remember that i am hungry and try to scarf something down, arg. Or if i cook dinner and snack while i am cooking, then try to sit down and eat with the family.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
