good foods vs. bad foods to go down!

[intut485 0]

I've been having some trouble recently finding foods that will go down nicely. I eat slowly and in small portions, but certain foods just don't have the right consistency and have trouble going down.

Foods that don't go down (for me):

scrambled eggs

sticky rice (anything sticky in general)

bread (duh)

pieces of oranges

If anyone can help advise me on a list of some more foods so I don't keep running into the same issues that would be great! Soups are awesome (obviously) and so is pieces of cheese.

Thanks!

Your list of trouble foods sounds very normal. They are foods lots of bandsters on this forum have mentioned.

You may want to try turkey chili- always goes down well for me. I eat a lot of fish as well. Of course soft things like yougurt and cottage cheese go down well. I eat marinated chicken breast (perdue perfect portions). The marinade keeps the chicken moist. Hope this helps!

what about Filet Mignon, mash potatos and brocolli? Are those food items easy to swallow, if taken in small bites, and of course chewed really well. I am still pre-op, but my family eats this at least once a week and I'm wondering how I'm going to turn it down. Guess my band will stop me from wanting it.

i had steak and broccoli last week with no problems.

it was good to grill out again after such a looooooooooong winter here in Michigan.

Small bites and chew chew chew.........i had no problems.

I would have a big problem with the steak no matter how much I chew.
