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



Recommended Posts

I've only recently delved into the world of popcorn because of all i've heard about it....I have NOT had a problem with it. But then....I've had a care free experience. It may disagree with some. I only have one bag of 100 calorie pop. Just enough to satisfy that little urge.

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 was cleard for popcorn at 10 weeks out!!!

I eat corn and popcorn all the time, with no bad side effects whatsoever. I am also curious as to why your doctor said no to this?

Anything greasy makes me queezy. Also Tomato based sauces don't settle well. But I am not really giving anything up I just put it on my list to try again later.

3 sausage balls at a little holiday party and I was in the bathroom for almost an hour. But not from throwing up. I really haven't vomited nor had the slimes. When I get sick it is with severe abdominal cramping, gas, and sometimes I also actually have a poo.

For me anything with milk. Breads and hot dogs.

I haven't really given up a lot. Here is the list:

Fast food and super high calorie or and/or nutritionally devoid food like white rice, white bread, flour tortillas, chips, french fries (except when I do oven fries), doughnuts, regular ice cream/malts/shakes, more than 1 bite of pastry/pies/cakes, or deep fried food.

I usually skip hamburger because it doesn't sit well, but I can eat a little bit. Everything else goes down fine.

I do not use any other oil except lard, butter, coconut or olive. Oils like corn, vegetable and especially Canola are BAD NEWS!

I don't eat milk chocolate, but do eat at least 70% dark chocolate. It's good for you.

I still drink diet soda, coffee and eat popcorn frequently.

I should add the the foods I don't eat are because I won't, not can't. I can eat anything. I just don't waste my calorie allotment on crud. I rather have a steak than a doughnut anyway.

Be extremely careful with microwave popcorn. The oil they use is toxic. It's easy to pop it yourself in a tiny bit of olive oil on the stove top. Eh, use a lid :-)

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.

Movie popcorn is also bad news. They ruin a perfectly healthy snack with the amount and type of oil they use. I pop it at home and take it in. Just be discreet. It will save you $10 as well.

I'm with msemma,

I tried some whole grain rice (to get fibre for obvious reasons) de-husked and steamed instead of boiled to make it easier to digest. It was like swallowing lead, I didn't throw up but one bite felt like I was tied to concrete goulashes sinking in the Newark River. One bite well very well chewed, forget about it. I love rice, but it's going to be a while before I try it again.

      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.
