Yolyann 56 Posted August 8, 2012 ok I'm not to sure..... What are some of the things that we will never be able to eat, drink, our maybe even do after surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SusieB29 10 Posted August 8, 2012 Every one is different. Many ppl have issue with chicken. Sugar is an item to be cautious of. Eat slow and Any new food after surgery take a small test bite,.chew it well and wait 5 min. You should know right then if its working or not. You'll feel the pressure. Waiting can help you avoid gettting sick and worse pain. I can't eat pork. It hurts like hell, even pureed it hurt. Now I had some tuna and I was surprised I was fine. The other thing to remember is having help with solids, we shouldn't drink n eat or we will slow our weight loss. But use something wetish / ketchup, avacoto, tomatoes, dressing with meat makes digestion easier. I'm just starting solids pureed and my family eats smashed coliflour instead of potatoes, I am able to puree some meat with that for a meal. Follow the rules, they are given for a reason and you'll be glad you did. Best of luck. 1 DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted August 9, 2012 Right now I can't eat chicken at all. I can't eat pork chops. No more Arizona iced tea(had it last night explosive poop)... Lesson learn. I did try bread even though it should be 6 months cant have wheat white or anything bread. No tortilla neither. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellie_Grace 271 Posted August 9, 2012 Soda is recommended as something we should never drink again, but others say they have had it. Debate is whether it strectches out pouch and it is empty calories and diet soda is bad for cravings and caffeine is bad for bones. Like everything there are conflicting reports on what one can have and not have. I think what you will and not be able to have will be individualized. So far I can handle anything I have tried except if it has too much sugar (greater than 10 g sugar, stupid greek yogurt got me). But I have not tried fried foods, pizza etc any real unhealthy junk food from before, so who knows how I will react to those. Plus what you react badly to now changes over time. But to stay healthy and maintain weight loss it might be important to consider what you eat and keep junk food, swwets, soda etc to a minimum once you are able to tolerate them again(don't believe in total depravation) a real mimimum. Just my two cents worth, not worth that much LOL 1 DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLCoggin 1,788 Posted August 9, 2012 I have not identified a single thing that I can't eat but...I try to eat healthy so there are a number of things that I used to eat pre-op that I haven't even tried to eat post-op. There isn't anything that I can't do (after recovering from the surgery) and a LOT of things that I can do now that I couldn't do before. You're gonna love the new you!!
