Use listdlg():

choices = {'Choice 1', 'Choice 2', 'Choice 3', 'Choice 4', 'Choice 5'}
[selectedIndex1, tf] = listdlg('ListString', choices); % Range is 1 to 5
% Remove the users choice from the list so it cannot be chosen next time.
choices(selectedIndex1) = []; % Set to null to remove it.
% Get choice from remaining items:
[selectedIndex2, tf] = listdlg('ListString', choices); % Range is 1 to 4 now

Note however that the indexes change. So for example if choice 3 was chosen and removed, choice 5, which was index 5 the first one, will be index 4 the seond time because one above it was removed.
