Foods you cant have again



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery on 26th of April 2013. I stayed on liquids only for approx 3 and a half months (till mid august) because even just the smell of cooked food made me so nauseous. If I tried to eat I would just vomit after the second bite.

In those 3.5 months though I did eat a lot of watermelon which I was very proud of. My consultant however didn't share my sentiments. He said "of course you can eat watermelon easily....it's mainly water!" Hehe

So after the 3.5 months I started by eating scrambled egg. Just one a day mind you....couldn't handle much more than that. I'm eating a lot more variety of foods now but still have trouble with red meat.

I absolutely love fish at the moment. Very moist and chewed heavily before swallowing. Also love eating soft chicken with salad. My salad of choice consists of just lettuce and cucumber with lots of lemon on top. Thank god I don't have problems with reflux and have heard from a lot of people that lettuce can be difficult but I love it!!!

What about popcorn? Will we be able to eat popcorn again?

2 years out and i eat popcorn at movies but in moderation. it shrinks down to nothing so you can get in more than is a portion size. its a be careful. it can shrink down but the cals/fat/carb content doesent. i only have so many carbs on my daily meal plan so its def an over for me on plan. number one thing i cant have is any type of carbonation. just cant do it and dont want to ever take the risk. but even now i can only have 2 sips - i will order if i have a craving have my two sips get full and dump it.

Question for ALL of you who posted on this topic...Would you say that post ok eating is a bit of a trial & error as each person had to see what they can tolerate? So depressing to know ther isnt anyway to know in advance of either getting sick or having those Gosh awful "slims" that many of you speak of :-(

It's all trial and error really. I noticed I'm more in tune with my body though, it will definitely let you know if you eat something that doesn't agree with you.

There is absolutely nothing that I can never eat again. Grapes, citrus, pineapple, soda, sesame seeds, fibrous veggies, alcohol -- all things that were restricted for me for a time, but once I was fully healed, no issues whatsoever. The only thing I don't eat is any wheat products.. but that's due to an intolerance unrelated to the sleeve.

I agree. You def need to listen to your body. I'm learning to eat slowly and I'm very picky over what I eat to make sure I'm getting all the right things in.

I've been keeping a timer and waiting about 2 mins between eat bite. It gives my body a chance to feel full.

And you experiment. Just because at The moment bread Pasta n rice don't sit well doesn't mean I'm not going to try it again. But I'll try it in the privacy of my own home

      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.
