1shauna1 129 Posted July 2, 2012 They are where you buy vitamins; they're chewable tablets. They basically help start the digestion process in the pouch when you're stuck. Some people also swear by pineapple juice which does the same thing. I would suggest keeping some with you at all times! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anume 937 314 Posted July 2, 2012 Is there anyone out there that can eat a burger without it getting stuck? I am having a difficult time not being able to eat a burger. I know we should not eat like this, but just one will not kill you. Am I trying to eat it too fast or should I just leave it alone all the way. The bread just gets stuck.

jacqulinep 6 Posted July 2, 2012 I eat a cheeseburger once and a while , but it is made with lean meat and NO bread . Just the patty . And that satisfies me . And stay with in my calorie count . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schell75 1 Posted July 2, 2012 I have been banded for 1 1/2 yrs. and haven't really eaten burgers because it hasn't been successful when I have. Finally the other day I wanted a grilled burger. I added breadcrumbs and egg to hamburger and seasonings, this way it kept it moist and I could eat with no problems and no bun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
