City: Santa Fe State: Texas |  What food have you sworn off for good??
OMG!!! :omg: I am in agony right now!!!! I had one of those little tuna kits and I put extra mayo in it to get it a bit more wet and oh holy sh#%!!!! BAM! I had the pain in my back and in my chest...it got STUCK!!! :faint: I was able to eat about half of the tuna mix and then 1/2 of one cracker. I have been walking around my office for 15 minutes breathing and stretching and I think I have finally gotten some relief!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! Tuna is so off my list of foods!!!!! Boy did my fill from last week ever kick in!!! :omg:
So what food(s) have you sworn off???

City: Santa Fe State: Texas | I can tolerate a little bit of bread, not much. And I do break up a couple of crackers and put them in my soup...no flour tortillas....that's another one!

City: Santa Fe State: Texas |  Cakes
I know what you mean about the cakes but Dr. Spivak did tell us at his seminar that we would be able to eat cake and chips and that those types of foods would go right down and to avoid them. grrrrr :angry that sucks! I am a pastry girl....it is killing me worse than anything!

Nope not this girl, can't stay away from the cake or the pie... I just eat the cake and skip the food... I know, I know that's not in the bandster rules... But hey life is crazy enough as it is, I eat cake to stay sane.....
Even though its not good for me, hey at least now I only eat a slice, used to could eat half a darn cake...

Its weird but since going on atkins and eating really small portions (trying too) when I over eat now I actually get stuck! And I am not even banded. It makes me realize it will happen more often after I get the band and I have to get used to chewing a lot and eating slow. I got stuck the other day with a steak fajita. holy crap my chest hurt! And I had to stretch on the floor and roll around. My kids thought I was playing and jumped on me. LOL not good.
I can only imagine how bad it will be when I am banded. I have already sworn off bread because of the atkins diet. I think that might be a good thing to get used to if eating bread when banded is tough.

Oysters. I'm just afraid to try them. I don't like them unless they are steamed and on a saltine with cocktail sauce. I just can't bring myself to risk it, and the thought of chewing it for more than 4-5 chews...nah. Oh well.
I can do bread. I avoid tortillas for the most part though, and I LOVE tortillas. If I couldn't substitute chips I'd be sunk.
Tuna salad is difficult, I haven't eaten it in a while.
Know what's hard lately? Cottage Cheese. That makes no sense to me but if I have a bite bigger than a toddler spoon it hurts. So, oh well. I avoid that, too.

My dad's Chex Mix he makes at Christmas.
Not because it got stuck or it made me PB or anything. But because after eating a bowl of it, I gained like 2 pounds (salt and water retention anyone?) and i HATE it when the scale goes the wrong way.

....I haven't actually 'sworn' ANYTHING off.....however, SOME things I have simply lost any interest in...and other things I just no longer care to eat, even if I can...
Triscuits and protein shake are on the "B" list now....
and in the AM I'm a bit tighter so some things are as easy to eat....
and while it hasn't actually happened, I'm terrified of getting a chunk of clam chowder wedged in the os....
I was served a cup of great tasting soup last week by DW....and I ate the liquid...but it had them small elbow minimacaronis...used to be a favorite....tried a few tastes.....sent them out the the compost pile...
Another favorite, pizza....tried a piece a few months ago...chewed it well, went down fine....just didn't do anything for me...
As I write this, I'm working on my very first "Toasted Cheese sandwich" in over a year....
I've longed for it, I can manage a bit of toast now and then, and melted cheese I eat too much too often anyway....so here's my dream toasted cheese sandwich dinner...after heavy chores t his afternoon...
1/2 went down fine, tasted good....the last half....jeeze....maybe I just am SATIATED now!!!
I'll set it back for 'later'....
