What Are Your Cant Haves

[Humming Bird 275]

The list of foods I can no longer tolerate is quite long, but I have had plenty of time to get used to it and no longer miss any of it. I thought I would miss pizza more than I do. After I have a problem with any type of food, it just no longer even sounds good. From day one my stomach was very sensitive and I also reached the green zone very early. There was not much of a bandster hell for me.

Some of the foods on my can not eat list:

Dense meats like steak, ribs, pork roast, chicken breast.....

Pasta

rice

bread

pizza (may be able to do a very small slice of very thin, but doesn't taste good anymore)

fried or breaded foods

eggs

tortillas

I'm sure my list is longer, but these are what comes to mind.

I have been pretty fortunate to be able to eat most anything. The only 2 foods I have given up is scrambled eggs and french fries.....they get stuck everytime. I can eat bread, Pasta, pizza, rice, fruit, and most meats (I don't eat much red meat though...mainly because I don't think it's very healthy). As long as I am careful, I don't usually have a problem. Occasionally I have trouble with veggies, but I don't sweat it. I make smoothies with fruits and veggies so I can get the nutrients in.

I have noticed that "my time of the month" plays a big part too. I have to be extra careful around that time. It's really the only time I have issues with being too tight.

I had my 1st fill on March 8th and realized I cannot eat steamed chicken {Chinese} but can eat the broccoli. Go figure.

After this fill there are foods that i just cant have no matter how well i chew before i could eat 1small piece of pizza now not even one bite ground beef nope not now Peanut Butter nope i love Peanut Butter today realize even scrambled eggs get stuck. BUT i can still have my ground turkey tuna moist chicken an salad.

You will know! If you eat something and it's not going through' date=' its almost like really bad indigestion, my chest HURTS! At least that's how it is for me! However, last night, the baked chicken I ate must have been too dry, because I woke up at 12:30 in so much pain and didn't know whyn it was a different kin of pain. It was like my port site hurt internally! I made myself throw up, which I was surprised the food was still there, and I felt better. I figured it had be 5 hrs since I ate dinner, I figured I had already digested it!

Good luck! Don't worry too much about what you eat, just concentrate on chewing it enough! In the beginning I could eat everything, now, listening to other people's "can't haves", I realize other people can eat what I can't, or I can eat what they can't! You will be different also, and you will figure it out as you go![/quote']

Thank you. I dread that moment. I have this vision of not being able to breathe.

I haven't had a stuck episode with my 'can't haves' but it does come back up. I'll be sitting there a couple minutes after eating and vwooooop up it comes. Mad dash to the restroom. pills go through real slow though and I hate it. Sometimes I PB on them.

The only thing so far I figured out I cant have is radishes. I tried them this past saturday at a resturant with my cousin and her 2 kids. I was alone at the table with the baby and ate one and instantly I needed to go to the restroom. She was up getting a salad and I had t wait because i obviously couldnt leave the baby alone...and as soon as she came around the corner I was up and running to the restroom... of course we were really far from it too!

Not much that I can't have anymore either. I stick to filet mignon now, instead of rib eyes or New York steaks. Other than that, the only thing that gives me a problem is snow peas, and oh how I do miss those! I made them a couple of nights ago and just ate the seeds from the inside. Even though I do destring them, they have given me a problem the few times I ate them.

I can't do any steak, not even prime rib which was always a favorite of mine. I live on mostly smoothies and fish. I can do Peanut Butter, yum,yum! Salads and raw veggies get to me, also. I can eat, very slowly, and slighly, a salad which has different lettuce other than iceberg. I can eat hard breads,and just recently started to eat small slices of then crust pizza. I don't eat potaotes, unless I have a fry or 2. My advice, also, is NEVER eat in the car.

[andrea0121 28]

My advice, also, is NEVER eat in the car.

Ooooh, go on. I never thought of this and actually haven't tried it in 15 months. I can see myself getting very werpy (hehe) in the car, or God Forbid actually PBing.

Bean sprouts are surprisingly the worst. They always get stuck. I also have issues dealing with raw fruits & veg with skins. Some meats. Honestly for me it depends on the day. What I can eat fairly easily one day, I can't the next, with no reason!

[jennifer1 180]

chicken breast, steak, rice(sometimes) doughy bread

this list seems to change from time to time though..lol

oh i forgot any fruit with a membrane like oranges, grapefruit..pineapples are iffy too

[SageTracey 608]

No breads, red meat or Pasta for me. And meat that is dry is impossible.

Have you tried PB2? It's a powdered Peanut Butter (powdered peanuts) that you can dip things into or mix in drinks for the Peanut Butter taste. It's delicious.

I know nothing about PB2, but it sounds like something I'd love. Where do you buy it?

Elizabeth Anne, I bought mine on Amazon.com and got the chocolate varitey as well they came together for around 12 dollars.
