Can you help me figure this one out?



Recommended Posts

For lunch I had 1/2 a hot dog and got stuck (and full) and threw the rest out. For dinner I am able to chow down on a giant enchilada. Why is it that some foods go right down and others are so difficult?

It could be a possibility of different food types..a hot dog- fat and Protein..enchilada..hell even I dont know whats in those :) but maybe the different consistancy of the food effects its passage through the band.. mybe a hotdog expands in you tummy! like those kids toys that "magically grow in water"!

I also think that sometimes its mind over matter..I can drink a freakin huge margarita ( :) ) with no problem but a small glass of soy milk hurts like heck!

Mexican food always slides right on down for me. Hot dogs---not so good! No matter how well I try to chew a hot dog, it does not really get mushy-----sounds gross---but it does not break down well, so it is harder for me to digest.

I'd say stick to the enchiladas, they taste better anyway!!!

As does the margarita!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
