BOB052212 22 Posted July 13, 2012 I had my 2nd fill 2 days ago, dont really feel alot of restriction, however I tried to eat bread last night and it was a horrible experience! It felt like it was stuck in my esophagus, and it was very painful, so here are my questions. Is it normal for this to happen even if your not feeling alot of restriction when I eat? Secondly, is this a sign that the six cc's that I have may put me in the "green zone" in a few days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sojourner 2,446 Posted July 13, 2012 It's a sign that you are not supposed to eat bread with the band...what you have described sounds like a stuck episode ( I thankfully have never experienced this, but have read from other's experiences). You must have more restriction than you realize... It's impossible to say that this episode with the bread is an indication that you have reached the green zone. You will have to wait and see if your hunger is diminished to know if you are in the zone. I hope you received some detailed instructions about what foods you need to avoid; if not, you should consult with your surgeon's office or a dietitian to get a detailed list. Bread is notorious for causing stuck episodes. My surgeon's instructions are to avoid all bread for the first 6 months post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pink dahlia 2,513 Posted July 13, 2012 white breads( and white rice and white Pasta )have a tendency to stick on me, but seem fine if they're toasted and chewed well. sourdough is fine mmmmmmm ! Brown wheat bread goes down much easier as does whole wheat pasta and brown rice. (Less stuff that gets gummy). You may have to experiment and chew really well to see what you can eat. After a fill you can have unexpected changes too. 1 BOB052212 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
