What food gets stuck the most?

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.

Meat hurts. no matter what kind, except fish. I can't eat anything in the morning.

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.

Oatmeal cookies and sometimes turkey if I am not careful to chew well enough of swallow too fast.

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!)

Chicken gets me every time. Grilled, shredded, or in soup, I just can't get it down without hanging it up in the band!

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.

I had my 'initiation' into band-hood with salmon. But I know it was due to the bite-size (open mouth, inhale!). So far I have learned from that and have enjoyed without difficulty all foods...in moderation, of course. But no food has presented a challenge.

I am considering whether or not to have my 3rd fill, as I seem to be losing steadily (not quickly), and am able to eat everything so why tempt fate?
