Too Full? What Foods Cant You Eat?

[sp1587 27]

I'm wondering what foods people struggle with, even when in the green zone?

I had my third fill a few weeks ago and have been doing pretty well, but recently have had issues with some fish, and also quinoa (which had previously each been fine). Only really at dinner time, been able to eat chicken, breads, fruit etc with no issue.

Just trying to get an idea of what people accept as not bein able to eat and alternatively, when they think they're band is too full?

I am 5 months out. Breads do not work, at all!! Neither do hamburger parties. Even if rare. Any vinagrette dressing on salad or as a marinade will not stay down. I have not tried rice or potatoes. All veggies are fine. chicken cannot be overdone. But ground beef for taco meat works. I can only do 1/2 a 10" flour tortilla as a quesedilla or a wrap.

Breads and pastas are extremely hard. Also lettuce. But then again I have days where I cant seem to get any food in and then others where I dont have trouble with anything. Darn finicy band!

bread is a huge no go, over cooked steak, dry chicken and broccoli if cooked al dente.

I can't eat steak, my surgeon says not of any kind. Too hard to chew up. I can eat chicken thighs and breast meat if there's sauce with it. I can't eat much raw food. Iceberg lettuce is a definite nono. Asparagus tips and broccoli crowns are my friends when well done. I have learned to live with my band after almost 3 years. My suggestion is to experiment with foods. Getting stuck is not fun. Like the other person said bread is mostly something I stay away from but I can eat a 1/2 bread stick at a restaurant. best wishes. Karen

I can pretty much eat anything so long as I take small enough bites and chew it thoroughly enough.

The only exception is dry meat. If meat is moist it's fine, but if it's really dry then I find it difficult to swallow.
