Hi:

tuna is on my no-list. I ended up in the e.r. from a tuna stick just when I started mushies. The surgeon said to go because my band was still new and he wanted to make sure it wasn't displaced. Tuna doesn't appeal to me anymore because I threw it up for so many hours.

I have to be careful and chew, chew, chew and wait, wait, wait for the next bite, but most other things work so far.

Good luck.

Sue

Skyeblue,

I'm very similar to you....my tolerances vary from day to day. One day I can eat a McDonalds cheeseburger, the next day I cant tolerate grits. I'd have to say my biggest No No's are squishy white bread (can eat it toasted), and any cold leftover meat such as chicken or pork.

It's a new experience each and every day. I've had the band for 5 months now and it's still a learning experience.

I have to agree that what I can eat changes with the time of the day and depending on my fill.

lately I have a horrible time with

broccoli

asparagus

beans

soy nuggets ( before my last fill I could )

no matter what size portion and how slowly I take it I get the slimes with these.

On the one occasion I tried broccoli it got stuck and I felt as though I couldn't breathe !!!

What I don't get is why i'm always able to eat tofu but soy is very if-y

I guess I have been pretty lucky. I've been able to eat about anything. I haven't tried rice or Pasta since my surgery since I live so far from my surgeon. Everytime I'm near bread I only have a bite or two and that really satiates my craving. Oddly enough the one food that I have had problems with are certain cold cuts. Like some of the harder meats and any thing with a casing around it, that tends to hurt.

the only time i have a problem is when i dont chew properly.

dry chicken is a problem, but if i lube it up with something like gravy but that gets to be too high in cals.

i am starting to LOVE chicken thighs.... mmmmmm

I have been banded 1.5 years and the list of what I can eat changes daily as well. But I can almost never eat chicken or breads of any kind. Anything crunchy I can always eat.

[Oregondaisy 2,020]

Right now I need a fill and I can eat anything I want. this is not a good thing.

The other thread on this I believe is called which foods give you trouble

[kacee 3]

Triskits. Never have been able to get them to stay down.

LOL Jack. I had a driving situation like that. Luckily mine wasn't as far as your's seemed to be.

I seem to be doing ok with most foods now as long as I take my time and listen to myself. When I first started, I had a really hard time with bread, rice, lettuce, and any sort of meat that was very dry. Now lettuce is not an issue and meat works if I chew well. Bread depends on the type of bread...sandwich bread sometimes works, sub rolls usually don't.

The other issue I have is with very surgary drinks. I slimed over a McDonald's Large Sweet Tea. That was definitely the grossest sliming incident I had.

wow, how can you slime over a liquid?!!! i've never thought about that before. although, i was a HUGE sweet tea fan, but now, i think my unsweetend is sweetened. my son has to taste it for me to tell me that it isn't.

"Gosh, Jack, that sounds like a really bad PB!" (doing my best John Pinette imitation.

I'm like several others -- it varies from day to day, according to the time of day and common extenuating circumstances like how big of a hurry I am in, etc.

I have to put everything down on a plate and eat it with a fork. If it's anything HAND HELD, I canNOT seem to slow myself down enough to prevent getting stuck or even PBing.

I've had great difficulties with grits -- but I'm super restricted in the morning and they are a Breakfast food.

Any sort of flaky white fish -- cod, catfish, etc., or shellfish -- crab, shrimp. -- Have to go SUPER slow and take teeny little bites.

I've only been banded for a short time and now that my fill leaked out I can eat anything. However, during my brief restriction I could not eat dry chicken or doughy bread. I could not eat anything cold in the morning.

Spongey solid food (but not bread). Things like spongey meatballs, omelets,pork rinds, pancakes.< /p>
