What food gets stuck the most?



Recommended Posts

What food do you eat that seems to give you the most problems as far as getting stuck.....but you keep eating?

I have trouble with oatmeal of all things. I think I forget and take too big of a bite about half the time. How about you?

Only one fill so far here, and I haven't experienced anything getting stuck yet. I still can't really tell the band is there! :lol: Ah well, another fill is coming up in about 2 weeks . . . maybe then I'll pass into some of the rites of bandland :unsure:

Ironically, the only thing that has ever gotten stuck on me is meat. The thing I'm supposed to be eating first at my meals! I've had sticking episodes with chicken, fish, and ground beef. Everything else I've ever tried (bread included) has gone down just fine.

Egg is going to be a BIG problem for me. I can already tell. Particulary, omelettes and scrambled. I don't have much restriction right now and both times I've tried to eat a scrambled egg or omelette it has hurt or felt weird going down. Also, dry BBQ chicken. It felt like a bowling ball going down. Any other meats and chicken cooked in a different way I haven't had problems with. Gibson, maybe you could try tuna. When I have really good restriction tuna goes down very nicely.

The only problem I've had is with Wheat Thins of all things. Finally, the 3rd time, I was like "why do I eat these??"

I know a lot of it has to do with the time of day I was trying to eat them (morning snack or lunch), because I'm super tight then. But geez, I'm not a fast learner, am I? lol

I can not eat bread not even one bite. Pork is also difficult for me. I have given up all fast foods, they all make me sick especially french fries yuck!:lol:

Rice and beef are very hard for me to get down. I have just decided that it just isn't worth it to even try eating those anymore.

Ant form of potatoe, even pot salad......seems like a mushy but for some reason it gets stuck. No problems with rice or pasta....weird.

Ooh, you just reminded me of something. I've gotten the stuck feeling three, (yeah Angie, I'm like you...sometimes it takes a long time for me to get the hint! lol), count 'em, three times before I vowed to never try a single french fry again as long as I live. I wasn't even going to eat more than one. I just wanted to try one. Yeah. Three times.

I've mostly had problems with crackers and french fries. I will have some issues with dry chicken every now and again, but french fries are the worst for me (which is awesome!)

Now, see, fries and chicken I have no problems with.

However, I suspect it's because of the time of the day that I'm eating this stuff. I could probably eat Wheat Thins at night. And I could probably not eat french fries in the morning.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
