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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
