Watermelon! It's the only food that comes right back up when I eat it.

Beef was intolerable for the longest time. After 6 months, anything goes, but I do not eat bad fat, bad carbs, pastas, most fruit, breads or sweets. Essentially, I eat a modified Paleo diet now and feel great, full of energy.

Fiddle.....have you read "The Primal Blueprint?" It's modified paleo....my wife has been doing it for the past 2 months with great results.

Sorry for the hijack.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I will check it out and see if it fits or improves my current eating strategies.

I'm 3 weeks out, plus gallbladder removal. I can't eat whey, (yes, that's right. No shakes or powders), dairy, or high fat. All 3 give me physical pain in my stomach, severe nausea and diarrhea. Oh, I can't do scrambled eggs either. A dime sized amount felt like I'd swallowed a very large brick. On the plus side, I have never slimed or vomited.

I thought I would try cantaloupe, because it is an easy fruit to eat. Big mistake: burned in my tummy for hours. Ironically, pineapple, which is my favorite fruit, went down with no problems. pineapple is on my nutritionist's list as "after 6 months" (and I am only at 3 months), so I am going to lay off it for awhile. I'm trying a peeled apple next.

Before VSG, I used to eat Atkins Protein bars -- like 5 a day (that's close to 1,000 calories. Any wonder why I had a weight problem?). Now I can't stand the sweetness. And they are sugar-free. I can eat maybe 1/2 of One Bar, and then put it away for another few days. Last time I was in GNC buying one little box of the cranberry-almond flavor, the mngr of the store commented that he had never seen me buy so few (I used to get 10 boxes at once). He didn't comment on my nearly 50 lbs weight loss however. Guess I am affecting his bottom line, huh?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
