I'm newly sleeved and I was wondering what foods are hard for you personally to digest? I've heard random foods like ground meat, chicken, lettuce..etc.

I am almost 4 months post op and still have a hard time with, broccoli, corn, and garbanzo Beans. I have yet to try lettuce. Steak is difficult for me to digest. I can eat it but it feels real heavy. It's funny I can eat refried beans... Or even whole boiled beans.. But garbanzo beans no way.

I am on soft foods and not really having a problem. While on puree I tried some smoked chicken breast pureed with BBQ Sauce. I was able to eat it, then it set like a brick in my stomach. I didn't get sick, but I sure didn't like the heavy feeling. Tonight I went out to eat with my husband. We had mexican. I ordered a chicken enchillada with the sour cream sauce on the side. When it came out I scraped the salad off the plate. I scraped the chicken out of the corn tortilla and poured a little sour cream sauce over the chicken. I ate small bites with a spoon. It tasted awesome and I had no problem. I might of had an ounce of chicken, very little cheese and sauce. Good luck. I haven't had any issues. I normally measure a 1/2 cup food and most of the time I can eat all of that and then I am done.

I seem to have a cast Iron sleeve at 6 months out. I try to stay away from white flour items though as a couple of bite and it sits like a brick. And I have a crazy reaction to too much sugar, I get flaming hot, break out in sweats and get nauseated.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
