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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
