Why aren't you eating meat?  I eat 2-3 oz of chicken or fish or pork etc with a 1/4-1/2c of a veggie for my lunch and dinner.  The band works better with dense protein.

Because when I tried Chicken Salad it got stuck and i've been scared to try meat.

hey you have to eat meat.. scary as it can be... just eat extremely small bites and very slow.. and your get the hang of it.. but you have to eat dense food that is how the band will do its work... you can do it... we all have eatin to much or too fast and have stuff almost get stuck!! Its all learning.. You can do it.. You can email me or write to me any time for support!! I have 10 cc in my band and it took lots of time and experience to learn how to eat, follow rules and make sure i  take my time eating.. I still sometimes make mistakes and i feel it!! Sometimes i have pain from to fast and too much. you will find your soft spot and you will learn~ but you have to eat the foods your suppose to ok!! you can do it!!

Thanks. After I do liquids and mushies for a day or two I will have some meat and let you know how it went!

I feel your pain.  I too was avoiding dense protein because it was so uncomfortable.  I was told on OH to cut it into english pea sized bites.  It worked!  I actually find that steak in those sized bites was no more difficult than chicken salad, that I had to eat in smaller bites and slower too.

well based on your surgery date you shouldnt be on mushies anymore... or soft foods even.. can you tell me why you are still eating these? Did you get a fill? if you get  a fill of course you go back on your post op diet and follow dr instructions. Is this why you are on mushies again?

Well I am going to be on mushies today to let my stomach heal. I only eat foods like that because like I said I am scared but I will try tomorrow to have meat. I had my fill on March 31st @ 2CCs.
