LipstickLady 25,682 Posted August 24, 2013 I am finding lots of foods my Sleevilla will tolerate but not many that sit there and make everything feel all peaceful and happily satisfied except Beans and crab. Is it humanly possible to just eat these two things? (Not really serious, but kind of.) What foods make your sleeve happiest? I know my tolerance will grow, but I seem to be stuck in the soft food stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueJH 205 Posted August 24, 2013 I seem very limited right now too. All of a sudden I'm starting to feel nauseous after eater most things. I know it is probably just a phase, but kinda stinks! I should be able to add new foods, but I'm afraid to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi17 54 Posted August 24, 2013 I'm 4 months out and I seem to be on a yogurt and cheese routine. They go down the best for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarbedazzles 74 Posted August 24, 2013 i'm 3 days out..... lol so Water and anything cold (except a popsicle) doesn't sit well. Tea and broth (well actually I hated the broth so I just strained cambells chicken noodle)....that's the stuff. Right now though, honestly? I'm just hoping to be able to eat at all eventually!!! 1 Lisaq332 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beach Lover 1,084 Posted August 24, 2013 Have you tried scallops, shrimp or grilled fish? These all go down wonderfully for me. They are a main staple in my diet. I also found sauteed spinach to go easily in the early days. If you have a Whole Foods around you they have some terrific Soups my favorite is the tortilla chicken. If you scoop it right you can get quite a bit of savory moist chicken. I find cheese stick and cubed cheese to be good along with deli meat. Hope this helps!

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted August 24, 2013 Scallops stick, shrimp works and some grilled fish works, they just don't work as smoothly. Soup hurts unless I just eat the broth or just eat the chunks and chicken makes me vomit almost every time. UGH... I do like my babybels, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted August 24, 2013 Oh! And the other day I stir fried some paper thin steak, topped it with mozzarella and provolone and had a breadless philly cheesesteak. That was AWESOME! 2 Karnie and DonRodolfo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted August 25, 2013 Oh, I do love quiche! I was making those on my soft foods and forgot all about them. Thanks for the reminder. I've not tried ham salad yet, that's a great idea. And what exactly is in spinach souffle? It looks so gross, but I do like spinach. If it has feta in it, even better!

Reigo 111 Posted August 25, 2013 I am so lucky that anything and everything goes down and feels fine. I have tried it all, even rice and Pasta but I also didn't get that much restriction (which I have mixed feelings about- happy I can still enjoy food and unhappy I can still enjoy food!) Have you tried other types of beans- black Beans or black bean Soup is a fav of mine. How does tuna fish salad work for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote'] I made pan seared scallops for the first time last night and it was yum-tastic! The sautéed spinach kinda scares me, but Hope tol give it a try soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 12, 2013 My little tummy has yet to meet anything she hates. Fish, shrimp, lobster, crab, beef, yogurt, cheese, Beans, chicken, lentils...bring it all! I haven't tried bread, Pasta and sugar but feel pretty sure she'd gobble those up with delight if I let her. Always did say I had the constitution of an ox....

FRED1977 186 Posted September 12, 2013 I feel like everything I eat just sits in my throat for a few minutes then goes down. I'm still eating like only 2 to 3 bites of food then I'm full. I'm going in to my 7th week and hopefully I will start to be able to eat more and drink more so I can loose this weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
