Hello everyone, I wanted to know if I was the only one experiencing this. Everythime I eat red meat I end up throwing up due to the fact it feels like it is stuck in my throat. I have very sensitive gag reflexes. I know throwing up is not good for the band, but I can't help it. Has anyone experienced this? Will I ever be able to eat hamburger or a steak again. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for the info.. I haven't had any bread since my surgery. My dietitian told me to stay away from all white foods.. I have tried to cheat with some potatos but I don't do well with them as well. So I am glad to hear I am not the only one having problems with red meat. I try to chew my food very carefully in the begining I thought it was because I wasn't chewing properly so I was very careful to pay attention to my chewing. Thanks for all the help all you guys are a great support group.

I am chewing it very well. I am able to eat chicken and pork ok it is just hamburger. Thanks for your response.

good luck Long with the Gallbladder hope everything goes well. Everyone in Dr snyders office is truly caring and wonderful.. I am glad I chose him as well to do my surgery.

I have lost 37 lbs since my surgery on May 1st. I just watch what I eat and walk the treadmill daily for 2.75 miles.

Dr Snyder did my surgery in May and he did a great job! you are in good hands! good luck!

I notice I get this when I eat too fast and don't chew good enough.. This has been tough to get used to. I am learning quickly though cause I sure hate it when the food gets stuck in my throat.
