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?

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
