Can I Have Corn? What About Coconut? Why Or Why Not?

[Kasie 4]

My doctor told me I could eat anything at all in moderation. I guess each dr. is different. I eat corn, coconut whatever. The only thing I really can't tolerate is ice cream for some reason. It makes me so sick.

OMG..We could be twins! We had surgery on the same day..have lost about the same amount of weight, started about the same weight...and for some reason ice cream makes me sick too! It is really the only food that I don't eat. As far as corn, I have had some, not in mass quantities (although nothing really is anymore) and I haven't had any problems.

I eat a lot of fibrous foods too, but I didn't till I was more than 6 months out. Just had an artichoke yesterday - talk about Fiber, but so good!

I gotta know! What did you dip the artichoke in? I used to dip mine in Mayonnaise or butter. I've been dying for an artichoke!

On my hospital info it said no fresh coconut for gastric bypass patients.

I asked my doc about this when the subject of a bezoar came up last time. He said I could have corn, celery, coconut, or anything else without worry. Since I love celery, that was a huge relief for me! Ask your doctor what s/he says about those items, though. Of course, if they say no to something, it is a good idea to listen to them. I'm not 100% compliant with my doc's NO list, but I try to stick pretty close to it.
