Eat some grits this morning:cry, and it felt like it turns to concrete. Not even water will go down. Did anyone had the same familiarity

I haven't been banded yet, but grits are also listed as a food NOT to eat on the list that my surgeon gave me of foods permissible during the mushy and soft diet stages. I was bummed because I luuuuuv grits.

Hope your stuck feeling goes away soon.

Grits are not a good choice for anyone trying to lose weight, especially someone who is supposed to be putting Protein first at every meal.....

A 1/2 cup serving of grits:
