My enemy food.



Recommended Posts

Ive tried to eat pork 3 times and cant do it. All three times it was different cuts, prepared differently and it makes me sick. What foods are hating you? Anyone?

How far out are you? From about 6 weeks to 8 or 9 weeks I didn't do well with crisp tender or raw cruciferous veggies like broccoli or cauliflower, but now at almost 6 months out I do fine with them. I would take a break from any foods you can't tolerate for a couple of weeks and then try again (at home of course and a small amount that is chewed very well).

7 weeks today. I have tried only small amounts of pork, but I think its just too heavy still. I havent attempted steak or roast beef. Back to the old drawing board.

Yes. Pork is also hard for me. I would try again in a couple of weeks. I do fine with lean beef.

I am almost 10 months out and still can not eat pork or beef....It makes me feel sick and sometimes I have thrown it up.....

I mostly eat chicken...brown meat and fish....so much fish I think I might be growing gills...lol

Love the fish...light and not heavy on my stomach....

I can also eat a very small portion of lamb....I watch that too because it turns on me so fast!

I can no longer eat salmon! Weird, right??? Other fish is just fine but the taste of salmon has become so strong it makes me ill to eat. The same with turkey!! Depends on how it is cooked. I can do *some* pork. Nothing breaded at all. I try to stick with mainly chicken and fish since those are the two that go down the easiest. The lighter the better! I am 7 months out from surgery.

Very strange, but I can't tolerate any kind of lunch meat. I can eat pork, beef,chicken, fried, breaded, really anything I want except the lunch meats. I have no clue why this is.

Beef got me forever. Ground, steaks, thinly sliced lunchmeat - any variety, I just couldn't do it.

Iceberg lettuce is still my enemy. Something about it causes me problems if I have more than one or two bites.

Same goes for flour tortillas. I hate them. They gum up and get stuck and I'm left with a plate full of food because I only managed two bites.

I also avoid rice for the most part because it does the same thing.

2 months out and haven't had an issue with anything except apple. I had salad ( with apple) earlier this week and felt dreadful. Tonight I ate less than 1/4 of one as a snack and feel icky again. Guess they'll have to go on hold for a few weeks. :(

I'm almost 3 months out. I get super sick on cashews. bread, which I've only tried once or twice, makes me feel stuffed in a bad way with only a bite or 2. I haven't even bothered with rice or Pasta. Only wish I had the sane problem with crackers. Those go down fine and they were one of my trigger foods before surgery. No crackers in my house!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
