What is everybody scared to eat since surgery?

ive been banded for over a year......i know some of my banded friends eat hot dogs...some sip soda........i am to scared to try either..........whats everyone else hesitant to try?

 There's nothing I'm hesitant to try anymore. After 7 years, I think I've given everything I wanted to try a shot! 

Once I got onto solid foods at 4 weeks out I wasn't given any restrictions except minimal carbonation, which is okay since I'm not a big fan of soda. Of course it's wise to try and choose healthy foods most of the time, but other than that I can eat most anything. Doughy breads are tough so I try to stay away from them. Cantaloupe gives me trouble too. Other than that there isn't really anything I'm scared to eat.

A solid steak like a porterhouse or T-bone.  I dare not ever touch them again because I get stuck with filet migon!  Oh well, meatloaf and meatballs it is for the rest of my being!  But I don't particularly care for red meat that much anymore....

Have fun!

I've been afraid to try steak as well.  Although I did have a little bite of my husband's in a restaurant last weekend and it seemed to go alright.

So far the only thing I've really had a problem with is romaine lettuce.  So sad.  Farewell delicious caesar salad!!

I won't a bagel any more...bad stuck episode with them.  I won't eat anything with a skin...like grapes or unpeeled apples...for the same reason.  I won't eat pasta because I get full with 2-3 bites and then I have no room for protein.  So I just don't eat pasta.

Me, I eat everything!

 I vowed never to drink soda after the band. I heard the carbonated beverages are painful!

Well i've had a bad stomach virus the last 2 days and I've mixed some regular gingerale with water.

Feels good.....no problems, YET...lol

I don't think I have been hesitant to try anything, that's how you find out if it works with your band or not.  I have tried things and been afraid to try them again, though!!  ha ha!!

I go by how I am feeling on any particular day and how well hydrated I am. If anything feels iffy I don't risk it, though sometimes something takes me by surprise. Thick sandwiches are never going to work for me, though I tolerate bread if careful. I tried Subway once when nothing else was available and I was a few hours from home. OUCH! I silmed all over my car and moaned and groaned and thought I would die for quite a while, yet the individual components would have been fine.

I drank something carbonated not long after surgery (within the first month) just out of habit and not thinking and was fine, others not so much.

I will never attempt a sirloin steak because they can be dry. I can eat a rib-eye steak if very good quality, cooked a little rare, and with some sauce, and being careful. I first tried this at 6 weeks out (unusual for most). I seem to have developed a real fear of chicken breast in any form. Boneless skinless thighs, cooked moist and with a sauce are fine, usually. Sometimes I just look at something and know that it will be trouble on that day.

We are vacationing in the deep south and deep fried gizzards are very prevelant but somehow I know that even if they didn't have a million and two calories they would never go down. Gosh, and I used to enjoy them. Oh well, I can live without. Things I just can't live without (that steak is one) I just learn how to make it work. Most say they have less trouble with those types of things after about 6 months to a year. It is individual. I get stuck every time I try tuna or salmon or chicken salad. Go figure.
