Banders Daily Diet and Exercise Log

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

Dinner: Nothing :sigh: ................ Made roast chicken, potatoes, carrots & gravy.............everything got stuck, was sick 5 times, had to take a drink of coke as the food just wouldn't budge, no matter how small I chewed it... it kept getting stuck

Im so hungry but im afraid to eat :cry:that choking sensation scares the sh!t outa me

NAS dilute throughout the day & 2 cups of tea

Just had tin of spagetti hoops & 1 slice of nimble toasted

sounds like the restriction is kicking in & sounds like the 1st few mouth fulls wasnt chewed correctly and has caused a block which will effect the rest of the meal and make you vomit more,its a matter of waiting for the block to move, when this happens its best to leave the meal and sip hot water as the heat softens the food thats blocked the way and it passes through quicker.

Thanks Liz, I thought I had it chewed correctly would it maybe be the case of not being able to tolerate chicken anymore? It was the worst experience of food getting stuck that I have had since banding, it was awful :sigh: and I sooooo dont want to go through it again!!
Thanks for the advice, you came to the rescue once again

Hi Kate...dinner does that to me too, have only tried it a few times since banding and I struggle every time I try it....I so miss it but it just doesn't go down can't imagine what Christmas is going to be like...will have to seriously rethink the whole Christmas food business :sigh:

Hi Yvonne, I know what you mean about Christmas :sigh: im hoping yesterday was a one off as I was able to eat it the day before....who knows, i'll maybe try it again at the weekend and see how it goes :fingerscrossed:

i think ive explained wrongly, after you have vomited, take small sips of water as the block can remain for a while the water moves it x drinking with food is generally a no no.

hi kate, you may be able to tollerate chicken still. cut it up into tiny peices like you would for your kids chew well dont eat to quickly and you should be ok. eating to quickly when you have good restriction can also cause the vomiting.

Hi kate it prob was most likley the chips that made you sick they do exactly the same to me, try just the chilli on its own next time or maybe over a very small baked potatoe but dont eat the skin, as that may be better x

Its all a learning curve isnt it? Its like learning to eat again. Finding out what you do and dont like and can and cannot tolerate.
