Any Celiac's Out There That Have Had The Sleeve ?



Recommended Posts

I was diagnosed with Celiac's Disease in 2002. (Allergy to Wheat and the Gluten in Wheat, Oats, Barley, and Rye). I am wondering if anyone else is a Celiac that has had the Sleeve ?? Anything to watch out for? My sleeve operation is scheduled for Oct 9, 2012. Would appreciate any info in advance.

You should talk with your doctor...but since gluten is in most carbs...and they want you to use whole wheat products, you should be doing excellent on this plan

I am not celiac but am quite familiar with the restrictions as I cook for someone who is. Before surgery it was hard to find meals to eat in common - now it is no problem! Many sleevers pretty much give up carbs particularly in the losing stage, and since surgery in May I haven't had any wheat, oats, barley or rye. It just isn't part of the plan anymore! Should be a similar transition for you as someone without dietary restrictions I would think.

Hi Directec, yes I have Coeliac Disease diagnosed when I was 13, 37 years ago. I was sleeved on 14 August in Brisbane, Australia. I have been consulting a dietician beforehand and since. Once you are back on solid food after 4-6 weeks, it is important that you have at least a certain amount of each food group and grainy carbs are some of the most important, especially to ward off Constipation.

Luckily in Australia we can buy grainy (GF) fresh bread from supermarkets. I also eat brown rice, brown rice porridge, GF Pasta, corn and rice cakes crackers, Beans and legumes.

I have to eat each day:

Min 1 Protein

Min 3 grainy carbs

Min 3 light vege

Min. 2 dairy

Min. 1 fats (nuts, avocado, olive oil)

Min. 3 fruit

Min 1 starchy vege like potato (optional)

To eat all of this, i need to spread it over 6 small meals a day of approx 1/2 - 3/4 cup each

With the sleeve you and still eat any healthy good quality food, but in smaller portions. Coeliac should not be an issue if you plan ahead. Good luck

I cannot have wheat either. Oh well. I had my sleeve Oct 9th. Lots of pain from one of the incisions, the other 5 are really good. Hope it goes away soon. Thanks for the info.

You can still follow your restrictions and you will probably do well since you are use to eatting high Protein. I think you will do very well.

Congrats on your surgery!!

      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.
