I got stuck...first time



Recommended Posts

It happened at dinner. I made a nice piece of Orange Roughy, rice and brussell sprouts. I got my second fill yesterday (5/10ccs). So, I'm halfway....Anyway, I took a bite of fish...no problem...then a brussell...keep in mind I'm hungry. I didn't chew the brussell enough and Bang there was that pain that everyone keeps describing to me. Right between my breast bone. I, like another poster on this forum, did my Lamaze breathing. It hurt like the dickens. Some sliming. No PBing. It passed and I was officially done with dinner. No problem! No brussell sprouts for a while either...lol. But NOW, I feel like a member of Bandland!

Now, I can't imagine the pain an unchewed brussel sprout could cause! Owie! Chew, chew, chew!

Welcome to the club. But you have to admit, the pain is a great reminder to chew, eh? :thumbup:

Ouch! I'm glad you're feeling better now!

The only way I was able to convince my husband, a lifelong Brussels spout hater, to eat the little buggers was to cut off the stem end and separate the sprouts into individual leaves OR cut them into coins, then separate them into leafy strips. If I quickly blanche them, and saute, they are really good.

I bring this up because it really is a nice, band-friendly way to prepare them :thumbup:

I love them just steamed! But I guess that's a thing of the past. I did cut it up but didn't chew it enough. Thanks for the suggestion...I'll try it when I'm past my fear of them again...lol:w00t:

I got stuck on a brussel sprout also and I sure know the pain! It's awful! That's probably the worst thing that has been stuck for me, brussel sprout and an artichoke...be careful of them also!! I'm terrified to eat brussel sprouts now -- but I love them!
