2ndchanceadict 33 Posted October 8, 2013 Am 3 days into Puréed foods. I used to have the lapband and wasn't successful with it. This time I am finding it had to swallow the puréed foods like chicken. I am actually finding it hard to swallow at all. Is this normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7 Bites_Jen 479 Posted October 8, 2013 Absolutely - just take it slow. Try taking smaller bites, if possible. That may help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndchanceadict 33 Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks! I am taking small bites but I guess too fast. I keep forgetting that I just had major surgery 2 weeks ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReDbEaN 654 Posted October 9, 2013 I had problems swallowing at first as well. It is waaaay better now. Take smaller bites if necessary, that helped me for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
