One never knows what you'll be able to tolerate or not. Everybody is different. I can't eat red meat anymore, just won't go down, but everything else so far is ok for me. Try copying the entire url link (the whole box) and pasting it in your signature. Good luck on the 5th.

I can eat red meat but have a tough time with chicken, go figure.

Soft bread is tough for many but certainly not all. I can eat pizza, no problem.

Like the above said. This journey is a bit different for everyone. Its a learning process. I am almost 4 months out and its still trial and error.

Good luck

I can eat everything cept those soft taco wrap thingies... they for some reason go down like glue, but as far as everything else, as long as I chew well, it goes down.

I wouldn't worry about it :)

chicken and soft bread usually don't work and I don't try too often - most other foods go one day and then they don't another day. I just tried egg white omellete for Breakfast and it stuck but most days it works. it's a bit frustrating but i don't automatically cross a food off my list if it doesnt work - i try it another day (if i crossed off all foods that got stuck i wouldn't be able to eat anything - for me its more a matter of chewing good and a tiny teeny bite) - well, except for chicken -i've pretty much given up on that. go figure

hi renee what was your preop diet? Did you lose all of that weight from that . How do you feel now..3 weeks after surgery? Should i cancel dinner plans that i have 3 weeks after surgery..or will i be ok to sip while the others eat? I really am trying to figure out when i will fell normal. I mean can you feel the band in place when you are not eating or drinking...when you are lying down? I still cannot decide whether to keep this a semi-secret or not..help i have more questions as i get closer.

thanks,

mags

I lost 10 lbs preop and 16 post op. My preop diet was low fat, low carb, high Protein. I was allowed 3 oz of lean meat a day. Low fat dairy products and Protein Shakes. No fruit was allowed, no sugar.

I can't feel my band. I had my surgery on Friday and went to a basketball game the next day. I went to work on Monday. I should have taken some time off but I didn't. By 2 weeks I was almost 100%. I am 3 weeks now and I have lower energy than before but otherwise I am good. I wouldnt cancel a dinner. I am eating as I will for the rest of my life now, although I have little restriction. I do have some though. I can't eat anywhere near what I used to eat. Good Luck.

I don't do bread, Pasta or rice well now. I just had an adjustment, so while I was still pretty open I had a magical grilled cheese sandwich.....OMG I forgot how much I love that. I am now adjusted and back on track. I should add that I can have rice, in Soup, but no other way. ~Mandy

It's true most people find that there are certain things they can't eat. I'm still not able to eat much that is solid but that's because I just had surgery. But the thing I am noticing is that I am experiencing about twice the flavor in the things I do eat. I used to just wolf things down. Now, I savor everything I eat (because the band forces me to do that) and I'm finding that I really enjoy the actual flavor of the food much more than I used to. If this is a permanent change I'll consider it a good trade off even if there are some things I can't eat.

Mark, that is a great way to look at food. Here is my take on it.

I can only eat about 3 cups of food a day. I would rather eat 3 cups of quality food, than 3 pounds of the crap I ate in the past. If I am going out and know I can only eat a small amount. I used to order the largest steak on the menu, quanity over quality everytime. Now I add a side of shrimp or lobster to my hubby's meal (if they offer that) or I order the smallest cut of steak (even though the cost the same as the biggest cut) the smaller cuts are more tender and flavorful. I will order the "princess" or "ladies" cut of filet, or a good rare Ahi tuna, and I am one happy bandster. I bring home left overs even with the smallest cut, they are great reheated for lunch the next day. I leave more satisfied than I ever did in the past. A few quality bites are all I need now and I savor every bite I take. ~Mandy

      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.
