Omg! My Apple Tried To Kill Me!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I brought a can of Trader Joe's cuban black Beans to have for lunch...someone stole the can opener! Thanks goodness I had brought some string cheese and a apple too. I ate the apple, in slices, with a bit of Peanut Butter for lunch. It took over an hour to finish it but about 5 minutes after I thought I was going to hurl ( first time by the way since my surgery I have felt like throwing up) I walked it off and felt better after 15 minutes. Maybe it was too much for my sleeve? Anyone else have that happen with an apple? I have had spicy, bbq meat etc and no issues but a apple...really? I have also had apples since surgery ( well only two) and have had no issues, what gives! :(

I'm 4 months almost 5 months out and still can't eat apples. Try peeling the apple may have an easier time getting it down.

My NUT says to always peel the apples as the skin can give us some serious discomfort. This goes for a lot of fruits.

Thanks so much, I appreciate your posts. I have never peeled an apple so I didnt even think of that. I will try it next time.

Apples don't necessarily hurt my stomach, but they sure do give me the gurgles. My university's cafeteria is seriously lacking so the only thing I can really buy for lunch without feeling guilty is an apple. I can't really peel it so I just eat it as is. I've been given strange looks because of how loud apples make my stomach sound. ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
