What's on your "Do Not Eat" list?



Recommended Posts

Since banding, I've found a few foods that just don't go down right. Tonight's discovery was couscous. Humble and seemingly innocuous, the first three small forkfuls went down just fine and then pow! For the next 15 minutes I'm strolling around the house jumping up and down, trying to make it go through. Finally, I decided enough was enough and swallowed a tablespoon of olive oil to grease the skids, so to speak.

Couscous = no-no.

You?

I can eat most things but I chose not to.. I had the worst stuck episode with japanese stir fried chicken.. it was white meat, no breading, just steamed with veggies but apparently it was too dry.. or something.. anyhow I haven't done that again.. salad is not my best choice either but if I am careful and chew it alot I can eat it....

The only thing I don't bother eating is dry meat. It's the only thing I regularly get stuck on. This is particularly true of any leftover meat.< /p>

But as long as the meat is moist- chicken, beef, pork, etc. I'm fine with it.

I would suggest trying it again at some time if you do like it. I've gotten stuck on a few things but usually because I didn't chew enough. Tried item again and no problems.

I can no longer tolerate asparagus, pineapple, under cooked broccoli and cauliflower.

I have not tried to eat bread since banding...and after 18 months successfully tried rib eye steak.

It's a different list for everyone.

I am happy to hear this because I too don't have any specific problems and I think...is that band really in there at all?? But of course it is, and I am following the rules and being careful and have been really lucky. I'm only 6 months out, so I only anticipate something eventually!

With only 1 fill I haven't had a problem with anything. If I have an episode it's because of a mistake that I made, to fast or not enough chewing

What is your Protein choice?

i eat 96% lean beef patties, lean steak (tbone my fave as well as filet) and chicken beast and beans...also Protein Bars (some have 20+ grams and higher..this is in my purse, drawer at work)..protein is what i eat first and its what i eat when i am truly hungry (and its not head hunger or me just eating because everyone around me is) the meats i eat cost a little more but you know what, i am worth it...so are you

So much of this adventure is subjective - what works for some doesn't necessarily work for others. I think this couscous thing may have had more to do with dryness than chewing - couscous is already mighty small and grainy. I've pretty much got the mechanics of eating down vis a vis chewing and bite-size and taking time, but it seems that certain foods just don't take well to slipping though a smaller space. I'm seeing a personal pattern that dry foods and things that can create "flaps" that might not break down properly in the mastication process are the major culprits for me. Live and learn :)

So far no problem with cous cous but I cannot handle white rice at all and some spaghettis

I can't eat doughy bread, like biscuits or fresh French bread, etc. No matter how much I chew...it just clumps up and makes me slime.

      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.
