This question is for folks who are eating normal foods now.

What foods do you have trouble eating with the band?

No matter how hard I try I cannot eat yams -- kills me everytime.

Apple skin, orange membranes, well done beef and celery

Potato skin, well done meat and french fries. Some days everything bothers me and it all gets stuck

[illuminationlady 7]

Nothing really bothers me unless I eat too fast. Bummer about the yams. I bake yams all of the time for me and DH.

Breads . I can eat them, but I have to take teensy bites, and chew until it almost disolves.

french fies, hamburgers, skin from potato and spaghetti:drool:

bread, Orange membranes, green Beans, sometimes brocolli.

I don't even try oranges any more, that was the worst, I do keep trying bread since I am such a carbo-holic.

Last night I went to red Lobster and I was able to eat one of those garlic rolls without any problem, which is good but then again bad. I took 2 home for tonight with my leftovers.

So far, just bread...

So far with 7cc in my band I can eat pretty much everything I want to eat....but I do have problems if I try and eat to fast or take that last bite of food......

I have 4cc right now, so I'm not at optimum restriction yet, but so far, i haven't found anything that I can't eat. As long as i take small bites and chew it very well, I'm fine.

eggs were the only one that I wasn't expecting to get stuck on. Scrambled eggs just WILL NOT go down. I can do Egg salad later in the day.. but never in the morning. I can't do many foods in the morning though.

Even oatmeal or cottage cheese will get stuck sometimes.

Typical foods I avoid:

bread

cake

potatoes ( darn! love them)

tortillas

shrimp

crackers

re-heated chicken

overcooked meat

Yams are hard because they are stringy.

I have a hard time with artichoke hearts and asparagus for the same reason. Also have trouble with most meats, bread, and eggs off the top of my head.

Here is an alternative to yams, white sweet potatoes, they are grown organically:blush:, they are just as healthy and delicious....yams for me are too ugh! but I can eat these, try them!:smile2:
