what can YOU not eat?

What foods have each of you found that you CANNOT eat?:hungry:

Yeast raised donuts......of course I really don't NEED to eat them either!!! I tried a simple glazed donut----it was a no go---it grew to about 10 times the size of the bite I took, and I slimed for 45 minutes, before ultimately losing what seemed then to be a dozen donuts----way more than the bite I took!!!!

All in all, I am very lucky. I can eat most things. I cannot eat a lot of pasta---1/4 cup or so, and I feel FULL big time! Same with potatoes. meats, most veggies, etc. I do fine with. fruit is another take it very, very slow thing. The moisture content in the fruit makes it like drinking with food, and I risk sliming!!!

Good Luck!!!!

I, personally, am having a tough time with most meats, except for grilled chicken and tuna or chicken salad.

Don't freak out...you'll do just fine

Beef, pork, chicken, anything with yeast/flour combo, gooey cheese, Pasta, mashed potatoes, eggs, and a few others. I don't eat any white carbs anymore so some of the above doesn't matter.

So far I can still eat everything. I hope to keep it that way.

So here's my question: I can eat most of these things everyone has mentioned......will my ability to tolerate these things change once I get a fill, once restriction sets in?

[juliegeraci 7]

The only food I have problems with is if the chicken is too dry. I need to make sure its moist.

[coleoptera 1]

I cannot do any bread, Bagels, tortillas. I have trouble with most pastas and most cereals. I absolutely cannot do any chicken or turkey (even dark or moist.)

Until after 10:30 am and a cup of coffee, I cannot do any solids or liquids.

I have difficulty with morning meds ( Vitamins and suppliments.)

What I wish was difficult...chocolate and icecream. They go down so smoothly!

Probably. It's an individual thing. I haven't PBed but I get the pain in the chest from not chewing enough, too big of bites and dry foods.

Several foods block me up, cause a golf ball, but I've only ever PB'd once. They are fish (except salmon), crappy sugary cereals and doughy foods like donuts, muffin and cake. I can eat a bite of donuts, muffin and cake, but I cannot tolerate fish. Its just awful to eat, instant pain.

bread is a difficult go slow food but I can eat it quite easily without discomfort.

Anything eaten too fast or in too large a bite can cause problems, but its second nature to me now to eat slowly and chew well.

I was able to eat just about anything before I had my 3rd fill 2 weeks ago. Im at 8cc in a 10cc VG. Wow what a change. I have been having problems with foods that I could eat before. For example, I ate an orange today, and had a hard time with it. I hurt like heck after I ate it. Over the weekend I made a Tomato/motzerella/basil salad and got a loaf of bakery italian bread. The bread was impossible to eat. I had such a pain in my chest and I think I finally realized what the term PB means. I never felt this before. it really hurt. It did go away but I dont like that feeling. I was scary. I think with my last fill im extra tight and need to be carefull. Does this mean Im getting toward my sweet spot? thanks

I can't have lunch meat. I haven't had a problem with anything else as long as I chew well and eat slowly.

Cooked stringy spinach when I'm very restricted due to illness!
