i cant do bread. I can do a half a piece of very dry wheat toast. I can eat roasted turkey, and love the stuff, but cant do chicken in any form or fashion except mechanicly processed nuggets. cant do eggs well at all but its off and on again with those, depending if someone at my dr's office is playing with the remote control again.....

I can't tolerate turkey of any sort. Chicken has been a challenge for me as well. I am on my 2nd fill and as of yet, I don't have that much restriction (hoping that in about two weeks I'll feel some). If I eathard boiled eggs, they stick, but I've been trying to soft boil them and so far they go down. I hope that when the restriction kicks in I'm eating something soft. LOL

Bread, raw veggies of almost any sort, eggs, thick casseroles, Pasta, sometimes cooked veggies, anything fried. I don't eat meat so I don't know about that but veggie burgers are generally a no-no unless I want lock-jaw from chewing so much. Only thing that I have found that always goes down is chips especially when they have queso or salsa, imagine that.

Ever since my last fill a month ago, I have been CRAVING really really spicy foods. My spice cabinet it almost empty!

Calamari! I'm not even sure why I would even try it but I did early in my journey!.....Basically everything else goes down if I chew really well and take my time....unless my band is feeling mischievious for some reason at that chosen moment for that chosen food....I think I may have to name my band....she has a mind of her own!

Not much spicy foods for me. I reach for the H2O, which is no-no, lol

and I don't think I can wait 30-60 minutes with my mouth on fire.

I said soft bread in the poll...which is definitely true, but the absolute worst is hamburger!! Ugh, I tried to eat just a hamburger patty about a week ago, and had my first PB ever. Not a fun experience and I'm definitely going to wait a little while longer before trying it again! Everything else seems to go down well.

Everything lately!!! Things that I have had numerous times now will not go down!

I was having egg beaters every morning....now they get stuck! One bite of mashed potato......40 minutes of barfing! salad everyday for lunch.....now it leads to me turning into the mad puker!!!!

I hope today goes better!

I am due for 1st fill the 15th. I can't eat scrambled eggs, applesauce is another no no.This morning I tried canned peaches mixed with oatmeal and I am still trying to get that 3 bites down.

I do cheese very well.

Popsicles goes down good also.

Peanut Butter gets stuck every time. That's OK, I'm not a big PBJ fan, anyway. I popped a cherry tomato last week, and never thought about chewing the SKIN. It took forever to slide through, and I felt every stitch of progress (sort of like childbirth).

I have had no problems with shrimp, Pasta, steak, eggs, or veggies. I don't eat soft white bread, but a bit of untoasted nine-grain dinner roll went down fine.

No problems with very dry white chicken. My favorite snack is a Pilgrim's Pride "EatWellStayHealthy Szechuan" chicken breast that's nuked an extra 1-2 minutes. Turns into "faux jerky", almost crispy.

If someone had come to me before surgery with a great new diet: "Give up peanut butter/soda/beer, and you'll be able to maintain a normal weight," I'd have signed up!

I got my band on June 20...I have had 2 fills and think I am pretty much in my sweet spot. I can eat anything with the exception of peanut butter. If I eat it on crackers it is ok, but by itself or on bread it always sticks.
