What Foods Did You Have To Give Up-Can't Eat Any Longer?



Recommended Posts

I can eat anything but there are some things I need to be careful of-broccoli stems are really fibrous and make me sick but the floret parts are fine. chicken needs extra moisture--gravy, cranberry sauce, ketchup. Other than those two, no problems.

chicken, especially white meat, really bothers me and makes me slime. I've also lost the taste for eggs, which I used to love. I'm only four months post-op so I'm optimistic that it will get better.

I'm week 10 post op and I'm still trying new things. I have had very bad experiences with anything that has much fat in it. I took a bite of the fried crust from fish and chips and two fries and felt bad for hours. I ate a few bites of chocolate cheesecake and felt really sick. For some reason pineapple doesn't sit well' date=' nor do boiled turnips. I don't have any trouble with bread, but I don't eat it because I just don't crave it much anymore and would rather eat "real" food. Right now my favorite things to eat are chicken, yogurt and cheese.

My surgeon said he wanted me off of Protein shakes by Jan. 1 and only eating food. That is freaking me out just a little.[/quote']

I have trouble with fatty foods also like ham and beef brisket. My solution is just to stay away from them. I have not tried anything fried like fries, deep fried fiish and so on. after my experiences with higher fat foods, i am afraid to see what deep fried food will do to me. The other food I struggle with is eating steak. It tastes like heavy metal to me and gives me a very crampy and very uncomfortable stomach, for hours. I am not sure why,but maybe it will get better later. I keep trying to eating beef, but same results. chicken, fish and pork are generally ok.

I cant eat hot dogs not even fat free ones. Stuff that use to taste good dont taste as good any more. No sugar for me either.

Great question! I tried an artichoke a few nites ago and it didn't agree with me. It's a fav of mine so I will try again.

I'm 4 months post-op and chicken and eggs are still very unappealing to me. I pretty much only eat fish & cheese these days.

I haven't had to give up anything, and that makes me happy. Everything in moderation.

I met with my nutritionist today and she said no corn or popcorn after surgery.....ever.

Anyone have the same restriction, or find very negative consequences when you do eat it? I sure will miss a good ear of corn on the cob in the summer!

I'd also like ot know the deal with corn & popcorn. I'm just recently sleeved but I hope that some day I can go see a film and order a small popcorn without getting sick.

I have a problem with popcorn because of having had diverticulitus several times and not wanting a reoccurance. But corn? Interesting....

Hamilton does not like sugar in "large" quantities. I can't eat a whole cookie without feeling a bit sick and other sugary foods. I just feel gross and icky and my sleeve aches a bit.

Soda is another. It makes me feel extremely bloated right under where my bra sits and I just get super uncomfy for an hour or so. This wasn't always the case, it just happened rather recently.

      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.
