I just slimed and pb'd a donut. I have never felt so sick to my stomach...I could literally taste the lard as the stinking thing was undulating in my stoma. NASTY.

Why did I even eat it? I wasn't hungry, I resisted temptation while everyone else ate one...and then I tried to eat one. WHY???

Well, I can tell you honestly...it will be a cold day in HELL before I ever ever EVER put a donut in my mouth.

blech..

So...what food is it for you that is so not worth it anymore...(And I know that we're not supposed to eat crap food anymore...but life happens and sometimes you have to accept that crap food is sometimes a part of life ie...birthday cakes)....

DONUTS SUCK!

Hi Rain:

Sorry you got sick. Good thing it was on a donut though.

Cold day in hell before I eat tuna fish again because of getting stuck, dr. sent me to e.r., had to have a cat scan, morphine for pain, etc. That happened my second week on mushies post surgery - hadn't even been filled yet. I wish it had been something good, like a donut!

Too bad ice cream, potato chips, and chocolate chip Cookies don't get stuck easy:wink_smile:! Willpower and smart choices keep us going, but every once in a while a person needs a small treat.

I can remember before support group one week a woman was talking about having eaten an entire whopper at burger king. I was almost sick thinking about the pain that would have caused me. She said it went down fine.

Better luck next time you eat something yummy:ohmy:!

Shrimp! I have had shrimp ONCE since the band, and I didn't chew it properly.

Not only did I slime and pb, but it came up through my nose.

I'll never look at shrimp quite the same again.

I have been lucky so far. I have not had anything get stuck and I haven't slimed. But for me I would say hamburgers are not worth it for me. I have only had 1 since surgery and it took me for ever to chew the bun and the meat. Plus when you have to chew it to mush it taste like crap. I have found alot of things that I use to love to eat that now I can't stand.

I am a big donut lover, so this was a good thing for me to see. I have not had anything make my slime or PB yet but I did eat some fat free cheesecake and ice cream thinking that I would be ok but since they would slide down but I was very wrong. I started to get the pain about 30 minutes later. Valueable lesson learned.

I didn't have them get stuck...but french fries. I used to LOVE Wendy's french fries. Didn't have them from pre-op until about a week ago (3 months of fry sobriety) and I thought I was going to gag. NASTY.

tortillas on my enchiladas... cooked chips I can do, but it's enchilada NO tortilla for me!

Cakey bready burrito type things spell trouble for me. Funnily enough I can still have pizza though - weird huh?

eggs are the biggest no-no for me though. Last time I had scrambled eggs we were on holidays and I spent almost 2 hours sliming and pbing and sweating profusely while feeling like I was going to pass out/die in an unlit public toilet cubicle in a small town we'd traveled to to have a look at all the touristy things there. Bad bad experience.

No Cheezits for me.......oh dear lord the pain. Wont even go near a donut for fear of having that one taste will make me lose it and eat them till i make myself sick.

Potatoes. I can eat mashed potatoes, but it has to be very, very slowly. Baked potatoes and home fries, on the other hand, are evil little beasts. I've gotten them both stuck twice since my fill last week. I've not PB'd anything, but I get the huge lump golfball in the chest feeling and DANG that hurts! I need to avoid potatoes completely depending on how they are cooked.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing that I CAN'T eat, but I am going to paste the doughnut warning in my brain to save me from temptation. Thank goodness I don't have Sue's problem with tuna, because I eat it 5 times a week. The mental image of having shrimp come out my nose (Gloucester) made me howl, but it was probably not funny while it was happening. I have yet to PB, but I have had my share of improperly-chewed bites that jammed in my throat for a few minutes making my eyes water and reminding me to SLOW DOWN.

Steak is no good for me. I haven't gotten stuck on that or anything else- but steak just doesn't taste good anymore after 30 chews and it's still chunky & dry....Ick! I spit it out without trying to swallow.

Hi, Eggs The Smell Is Awful Coming Back Out . Deb C

Wow You Have Been Lucky With Your Band I Fell And No I Have Not Eaten Well Since Thankgiving Of 2006 .

I'd have to agree - donuts. Ick. Scones, muffins, etc I enjoy but they're very dangerous foods. But donuts dont even taste good any more - they are just instant pain. And I mean what I call a donut which in Australia is a bit different to those utterly disgusting Krispy Kreme things - I couldnt stand those even when I didnt have a band.

As far as I can tell I have tried a lot of things but will say that large bread items is bad for me. Also some lettuce causes problems. The biggest problem I have had is trying to make sure I eat real slow and not drink while eating. I really have a hard time when I go out to lunch with people from work. They eat so fast. I have slimed and pb a few times.
