dry chicken

Pasta (cant chew it well enough)

anything bread-type in the morning, but after about 1ish, i'm ok with bread

chicken, it it's not moist enough, Pad Thai Noodles, chinese sticky rice, (rice pilaf is ok, though). If I eat bread in very small, well-chewed bites I am OK, but it can take a long time to go down.

Rice, bread and some meats, but the worst I have to say is rice!

Depends on the day of the month for me with some foods like chicken and bread.< /p>

But can honestly say that I can tell when I chew if it will go down or not. Too thick, chewy, mushy soft... I spit it out and don't even try.

It seems like a lot of people are having trouble with chicken. I am glad I dont'.

I eat A LOT of chicken.

I was told by my doc and from what I have read. Rice is not a great food to chose. Rice can be ok if it is cooked very well and fully puffed before eating. bread is better if eaten toasted, also try wheat not white, to Gummy. as for chicken i have not eaten much but did not have a problem with chick-fila nuggets. it is a little fattier though

Pork Chops, chicken and any 'reheated' meat meal

meat is a hard one, fish is good for me and I have been able to eat steak which is kind of weird, many of my friends that have had the surgery told me that I would not be able to eat it. It all depends I guess, some days are different then others.

Wow this has been very helpful for me. I was wondering why my doctor said no bread, red meats. now on my list it says pop corn and jellies and jams also syrups. I have not seen any body having problems with those.

Thank you all for sharing

Same as the others:

meat

Most fresh vegetables

eggs (any kind)

bread

Snap Peas (the cracker kind you put on salads-clogs me on the first bite)

However, I think if I slowed way down, stood up and walked about, took a bite every 3-4 minutes I might be able to eat almost everything. I've noticed foods that I just took a small, quick bite of and kept going will stay down. But, who has that kind of time and microwave access at work!

The only time i had a problem is when i took too big of a bite and didn't chew enough. That happened with a chicken wrap with lettuce in it. Ouch. That was painful.

Thanks everyone for that info. I am having my first fill on Monday and I want to be sure I am very careful not to pb.

The way bread was explained to me was that the GLUTEN is the problem. Take a piece of bread and wad it up in your fist pour Water on it and watch it get all gummy.... (that is the gluten) the ball of Gummy gluten acts like a cork in your band and either you have to wait for it to pass or it has to come back up, which is why toasted bread acts better.

My weird problem food is refried Beans.......... why I have NO idea.. it is usually a staple to those newly banded or a good Protein filled mushie... I 've tried them 4 times in three months and each and every time I end up sicker than a dog.

Today I had a problem with almonds, but I was eating a handful not paying attention and didn't chew them up well.......... didn't pb but I did get the FLAMING GOLFBALL feeling.

Also going back to the RNY discussion... the biggest difference is that the RNY people are not able to absorb nutrients from the food that they eat.. it passes right on through.......... with us we do absorb but it has to be in small enough pieces that it passes through a band... I would take TerriDoodles advice and do a lot of research on the differences. I have two RL best friends that have both had the RNY and I knew it wasn't for ME.
