what foods restrict you the most



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

Just curious about the foods that cause restriction. Is there a common link with certain foods and the number of fills? I had my third fill on Dec, 17 and find that when I eat any rice i feel restricted. Also, raisins do it to me as well. How about you? I would love to hear. lauslin

Banded on 10/23 with at 4cc fill on dec. 2. I haven't eaten anything that has given me issues. I can only eat 1/2 a sandwich and very little pasta/rice. My portion size is maybe a 1/3 of what I use to eat. I am feeling hurgry now but can't do anything about a fill until the end of January begining of february..:tongue2:

Bread is my problem food. I didn't have any problems at first but I think now I forget and eat to big and way to fast. I wish I would really remember to take little bites and chew really well. Now will I give bread up, naturally NO. I'm stubborn. Merry Christmas all....

that is so funny. I recently had the same problem with boiled eggs. My Dr. told me to eat eggs because I am lacking Protein and my hair is falling out. I said, no problem and boiled up some eggs, planning to eat 2. I could hardly get one down, stuck.

It's a bit unpredicatable... for example, I make this great turkey salad and eat it all the time (for lunch several times a week) but last night it got stuck. I didn't PB but it was definitely a not great feeling.

I have had that stuck feeling with a lot of different foods. I have only PB'd a few times, and DO avoid those foods or foods like them by all means (fried chicken, french fries, etc.)

I have been filled twice. I have a 10cc band, which has 4cc now. I have restriction, but I have not been stuck with food yet. I chew, chew, chew before I swallow the food. I eat sushi, chicken, turkey, bread and steak (just a few examples). I vey small quantities, because I am afraid of being stuck. I don't want to go there, so I try to be very careful.

Definitely starches - rice, grits (southern specialty which I love)! Just a couple bites of either and I am in misery for hours! Also baked chicken or turkey if they are dry!

I haven't had a fill yet and so far can eat anything. I have had Pasta, Lo-mein, fried rice. I have not tried regular bread and don't plan to - I only tried some rye bread toasted and was fine. My appetite is starting to increase but I'm not eating as much as I was before the surgery. I have learned to take it slow. I can't wait for a fill to help me get more restricted. And now that the holidays are over - I need to get back on track!

I have a hard time with bread and also Pasta.< /strong>

I have tried to eat a pork chop and chicken breast and no matter how much I chew and no matter how small the bite is ......it just don't go down.

And then there are times where something I've always eaten without a problem becomes a problem that day!!

My Dr. has told me that emotions play a big role and I can tell if .....I'm uptight for any reason my band is tight!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
