My Top 5 "No No" Foods @ 1 Month Post Op



Recommended Posts

My 1 month surgiversary is tomorrow. Although I have been able to eat a wider variety of foods over the past couple of weeks, the following foods are still impossible for me to eat. Let this be a warning to our recently new sleeved members.

1. eggs. Doesn't matter how they are cooked. Very hard to eat.

2. Potatoes. In any form.

3. meats. Including meats in Soups and stews.

4. bread. In any form, though I have been able to add crackers to Soup.

5. Raw Veggy's. Not yet.

If you are near the same stage as I, what good and bad experiences are you going through?

I'm 25 days post op and I had soft scrambled eggs once, I chewed until it was mush, I had about 4 bites but they sat heavy for hours. I've had chicken salad a couple times but its not my favorite, the chicken is hard to eat even when shredded.

I have not tried bread or crackers yet.

I made home made beef stew for my family last week & I mashed up a chunk of potato & carrot and blended with gravy really well and I ate that.

I can handle refried Beans ok and I've had chicken broth... My doctor put me on 2 more weeks of soft mushy foods because my stomach is inflamed. (I threw up everything for over a week) He took me off Prevacid and put me on Pepcid and told me to take either mylanta or pepto before meals. It has helped and I'm even able to drink more liquids now that my tummy is being coated.

I'm sticking to my doctors diet and I haven't cheated at all. I'm not eating anything that isn't on my list. In 25 days I've lost 35 lbs. I keep sipping Water all day.

I'm able to eat scrambled eggs ( takes a while to eat just 1), Soups with soft veggies in them, crackers with some soft cheese ( only 2 at a time), mashed potatoes if I only take a couple bites, and other soft foods of this nature. Things that have been disagreeable - 1/2 cup of soft serve ice cream made me feel ill, some Tomato basil Soup from Jason's Deli was too rich and I had to stop after 2 bites, and I find that I don't have a taste for mac and cheese. I'm 13 days out and can't eat very much which is good because that was the point of the surgery. The disagreeable things give a very clear signal to quit eating them immediately. So I quit. I haven't thrown up once since surgery and plan on keeping it that way.

None of the above. However' date=' when I try to eat any of the foods I previously mentioned, I get the sensation that the food gets stuck in my throat. I can almost feel it go down, much in the same way a snake looks after eating a mouse!

Since these foods are so hard to eat now, I wonder how does our body acclimate to them. I am enjoying my weight loss, but don't want to eat mush foods for the rest of my life.[/quote']

Curious... How big are your bites with the foods you can't tolerate and how well are you chewing? That list seems long! And filled with hints that I've heard most can tolerate. I'm sorry you're not able!!!

Re: Those foods on my list...I chew them until there's nothing left, They all hurt to swallow. It gets so severe, I literally have to stand up to allow the food to go down.

      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.
