Hi everyone, I was reading some of the posts here about how chicken seems to be everyone's nightmare. Since I'm not quite on the mushies yet, I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what foods gave them the most problems.

Example: Pasta, veggies, toast, eggs, meats and such.

Reason I'm asking is my son graduates from college beginning of May and our entire family is heading down to Daytona for the graduation for 1 week. I'm going to be just at my 6-week post op, so I was wondering what to avoid eating so I don't run into a PB in front of the entire family. Thanks

Lynmcg, once your diet is advanced, just carefully try everything. I've got pretty good restriction and don't have any food that's off limits as long as I chew it well and take small bites (and that includes chicken and white bread) So don't assume you can't eat something unless you try it yourself first!

Just follow your doc's orders on food progression, follow the directions on chewing well, and you'll do fine. Until you have restriction you probably won't have any issues anyway (most people don't). Until your band is tightened enough you won't really know it's there. Good luck!

Each person is different when it comes to problem foods. In truth, I don't really have any foods that I cannot eat if I take my time. Also, at 6 weeks, you may not actually have any restriction unless you have an aggressive doctor. I am six months out only just now really getting good restriction. Just take your time with anything that you try to eat and chew the heck out of it. Good luck!

I have been fortunate that I don't have any problems with any food except for a 'wrap'. I usually mix my meat with a veggie when I'm chewing it and I'm also able to eat bread. I should clarify that I just got a fill a few days ago - I'm up to 8cc's not and haven't tried bread since this past fill and try to stay away from it as much as possible. Pasta - no problem. pizza - 1 slice and I eat it slow.

I agree with the other posts, everyone is different. I just had my second fill and for the first time since surgery I have restriction. Prior to this fill I could eat pretty much anything except for ham and rice. Now I am having trouble with lots of things. It is almost like being in the mushie phase again for me. bread and anything doughey is a big problem, but I think that is a good thing because I have better things that I should be eating.

Good Luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
