Blazn Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Okay so I have had my first fill for almost 1 week now and there are a couple of foods that I absolutely cannot eat and a couple that I have trouble getting down. Lets share our lists of foods that are not tolerated by your band. For example, I threw up a small bowl of frosted flakes today simply because it would not go down, but yesterday morning I ate 1.5 waffles (soaked with light syrup - so very soft) and all went down fine. I know there are going to be some that can tolerate the foods that some cannot, but I would like to know anyway. So I will start and as I come across foods that I cannot tolerate I will just edit my original post - to keep things neat! Foods that have trouble going down: dry chicken eggs (omlett style) Foods that did not go down: frosted flakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula Bee Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 After my first fill, I have no restriction at all. Bread got stuck prior to the fill and I haven't tried it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 There are foods that I couldn't eat one week, but could eat the next. So I always will try most things as long as its good and I've liked it in the past - (Not dried chicken though.....ick) I just start out with a really small bite and chew it good. I'm not missing out on any taste bud tantalizing tidbits that I know are good. (The cool thing about the band is you can’t eat much so you can have little bits of things without gaining weight) What I really notice now is I love food with really strong flavor, I like things with heavy herbs, lemon, and I cook with wine more, if I can only eat a small amount it better have flavor to it! Its a fickle thing this band...and its all about the chew.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontondan Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Glad to see that I am not the only one who has a "fickle" band. It depends on the day what I can and can't eat. Some days I can eat almost anything and some days all I can eat are liquids. I always am cautious what I try and take a very small bite and chew, chew, chew. Even this backfires sometimes! I am very cautious when I eat in public, don't want anything embarrassing to happen. My family say I get a "look" on my face and they know I am not doing well with something. At least I am getting smarter and stopping right away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImwiththeBand Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was banded on April 30th, and so far I have been mostly eating full liquids, but I have also ventured a little bit into "soft-food land". I had a bad experience with a boiled egg, and it felt like I was being choked to death from the inside out. It was miserable!!!!! I wanted to cry and I will not soon forget that feeling of food getting stuck. I can tell it wont take very many times of that happening for me to be more careful what I eat and how well I chew!

The Redhead Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I haven't had my first fill yet but I have LOTS of experience with food getting stuck. WOW, does that HURT!!!! :negative: You'd think I'd learn to chew more and take smaller bites but I must be a REAL slowwwwww learner. I can't eat: Toast Chicken strips Hamburgers Tuna (thought that would be easy but NO, it got stuck BIG TIME) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock27 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I havent had any problems whatsoever with the band. sometimes i wonder if i really have a band, since at times i am so hungry that i forget to chew a lot, and yet nothing happens. i am hoping that when i get my first fill things will change. in addition i am stuck weight wise, but i think is because i usually have about 1000 calories per day.

Maytee Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 As long as I chew really well I can still eat anything. I do have my occasional oops, I didn't chew that enough but no PBing. I have my second fill scheduled for June 2 maybe after that one things will change. Maytee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
