No-no Foods...what Are Yours?

Just wondering if all the people who can't eat chicken are only eating drier white meat as opposed to juicer dark meat.< /p>

I can eat steak, as long as the pieces are tiny..as in about the size of a pencil eraser. I do that to avoid swallowing a piece with some gristle that I didn't see. But, if eating steak and I cannot chew it to the consistency of applesauce before swallowing, I've been known to spit it into a napkin to avoid getting stuck.

Denise, I do the same thing! LOL if I can't chew it enough, I spit it out.

I have a LOT of trouble with chicken, doesn't matter how it's cooked. Roast beef is another "sticker" for me. I haven't tried pork chops yet, but I know they are dry and I'll probably have trouble with them.

I tried popcorn a couple times, but not the entire kernel. If I can't chew it to liquid, I don't eat it.

I was banded 1 year ago today, on Dec 30, 2010. No looking back...I'm loving being thin!

I had my second fill and again have no restrictions. I can pretty much eat what I want as far as quantity goes. I could probably eat all the wrong foods that got me here in the first place. I am too scared to throw up, so I do a trial and error home first before going out with friends and family. My mom looks at me in amazement that I can still eat so much. I just chew it to smithereens.

Shap, I can eat dark meat chicken with no trouble.

Chris, roast beef is hard for me as well. Even if cut to tiny tiny pieces! We had it for Christmas Eve dinner and leftovers. Surprisingly, I can eat the thin cut type of pork chops. They take a lot of chewing work, but I haven't been stuck on them yet. I sometimes get bored with all the chewing, though. I haven't gotten stuck on popcorn yet, but I don't eat it often.

I have problems with foods that I take bites of versus those that I cut up and eat with a fork. So things like sushi, salad rolls and hotdogs are a problem. My bites are too big!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
