What types of foods to eat/avoid

I have always had a problem with chewing every bite of my food.  I am trying to get in the habit now before my surgery.  What are some good foods to eat and some to definetly stay away from?

Hi! I'm almost 3 months out, and I don't have a problem eating or drinking anything. I do get full on much less food than I used to, but no stuck, PB, or sliming episodes. I've only had one fill, my next is on December 18th. I don't have too much restriction yet, but I've heard that most people, once they reach their sweet spot, cannot eat bread, pasta, dry meat, rice, and some even get stuck on salad! If you can't chew it to applesauce consistancy, you could have issues. I think everyone is different. I've heard of people getting stuck on scrambled eggs too! I think the key is to take pes sized bites, chew, chew, chew, and wait a few minuted between bites.

Hope that helps!
