My husband went for his nutritionist appointment yesterday and she

kind of scared him. She told him that there are a lot of banded

people who can't eat solid Protein, like steak or chicken. Is this

true? What have your experiences been?

I can eat chicken, actually chicken, fish and turkey are good. I can eat salad. My dotcor tells you no steak or red meat because 1 it is hard to chew and 2 it is fatty. Basicly each person is different, or must try different things. He will know what he can eat and what he can't eat.

chicken is all good, no problem, except for that chunky chicken salad that my sister made. I slimed on that, no, I actually PB'd it!, then I took each chunk out of the bowl and cut it into chicklet sized pieces, remixed with a little extra mayo and it went down fine. I have tried London Broil but only a little chicklet sized bite. Too much trouble, but yummy for that one taste. I can eat burgers, small bites well chewed but I tend to spit out the chewy nasty pieces that you tend to find when you are actually bothering to chew the stuff.

Salads are great, no problems, as long as it's well-chewed.

It's not so much a matter of "can't" eat solid protiens (although she's wrong about the chicken, if you can't eat it at all, you are too tight IMHO) it's more a matter if "willing to" since it can be such a bother. You become a bit of a food snob. Some things arent' worth it.

I'd be much more concerned about the things that CAN go down like Fritos and Doritos and just about any type of junk food. Now THERE"S the work.
