What are some things that you cannot eat after surgery that you have before surgery!



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if there are things that anyone just can not tolerate since there surgery to eat. I have heard from a couple people that apples is one thing they wish they could have but cant anymore. I would really like some input on this since I have not had my surgery yet... It has been on my mind some lately. Thanks ahead of time for all that respond :)

Early on chicken was a little tricky. But after the 3-4 month mark I eat anything and everything! Hence the name sleeve of steel!

I think for everyone it's different. Part of it too will be because your tastes/sense of smell changes. For me, I used to LOVE seafood. Any and all kinds. Now, I can't hardly stand the smell of many kids of seafood and the taste is like dead rotten ocean salt. I also used to LOVE bacon, now it tastes like salty grease. However, everyone is different. The good thing about having issues with digesting certain foods usually goes away with time. I personally haven't eaten anything that physically disagreed with me luckily, so just know some things will change, and be open to knowing it might not always be pleasant figuring out what those things might be for you.

Yeah I think everyone is different. I can tolerate everything from red meat to pork to sweets!!! I do notice however if I reheat chicken or pork it goes down ruff the next day. It is way to dry. I also eat bread with no issue.

Good luck! You will do great. The first few days may be challenging but remain positive and remember why you did this. The positivity helps a lot!

I can eat pretty much everything I want. Some really bready things sit heavy in my sleeve. Otherwise the only thing that seems to make me sick is premade SlimFast shakes.< /p>

Congrats to all of you for all your hard work what pics I have seen of you guys have been amazing! Gives me alot of hope! :D

I used to be a huge fan of eggs but can't stand the texture of them anymore. Spaghetti also isn't very appeasing to my palate.

So far ice cream and clam chowder are the only things that have made me sick. I ate the smallest amount of ice cream- it was actually a couple bites if a shamrock shake. Other than that- most things are a-ok! Even tried a hot dog and bun tonight at a basketball game. I am 6 weeks out and down -32lbs.

The only thing that I still cannot eat at almost 7 months post op is sugar. A bite of something sweet here or there doesnt hurt. But more than one bite gives me flu like symptoms. Chills, sweating, stomach ache, heart racing, and sometimes throw up.i was never a sweet eater pre op, so i doesn't really bother me. Plus it helps keep me in line ;)

      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.
