What foods can you simply not have anymore?

[Disabledaccount 154]

As a carb lover, (love rice, bread, Pasta, potatoes!!!!!) hoping i lose my tastes for these.

What did you love pre-surgery that you can no longer anymore?

[joatsaint 2,814]

I haven't found any food that I can't tolerate at 10 months post-op. There are some who said they couldn't eat bread or have become lactose intolerant. I guess I'm lucky that I can eat anything without problems.

I can't have much red meat like steak, hamburger and Peanut Butter makes me nauseous. I stay away from bread and a very small amount of carbs meals because it makes me feel heavy and bloated. But I can eat a little bit of just about anything. After a year and a half with the lapband where I couldn't even eat scrambled eggs without getting sick, it is truly heaven.

Any food you knew was going to kill you or some one before you ate them any way.

Carbonated beverages are a big "no no". It isn't a food but a lot of peoplel drank them before surgery.

Fries, I have puked all 3 times I have tried. I finally gave up. I tried them fried, air baked, and baked in my oven at home. I do ok with hash brown patties as long as they are baked. I buy the frozen ones like McDonalds has, for a rare treat. I also do fine with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and love potatoes cooked in the crock pot, or just quartered, coated with olive oil and seasonings. I mean I eat like 1/4 of a small potato, or about 2 bites lol. It's something about French fries that just make me sick.

I can have any food I want to at this point- I have no food issues after surgery. However, I choose not to drink any carbonated beverages or alcoholic beverages, and I choose not to eat gluten which eliminates a bunch of the "naughty" foods like bread, Pasta, Cookies, cake, etc., and I also choose not to eat dairy products. I am physically able to eat them, and I definitely enjoy eating them, but I have decided to follow a Paleo diet for health reasons, and it is working really well for me.

Awesome this is great to hear. It's sound like post VSG your cravings for the bad stuff have gone away, this is great stuff. Congrats! Also we seem to have started this journey at similar weights, how much did you lose the 1st month?

I can eat and eat what ever I want I indulge in naughty foods once in a while and mostly try to stick to healthy balanced foods. I eat bread up to 3 times a day sometimes. I dont use butter at all.I eat low fat dairy And make Protein a main part of each meal.

The cravings are still there, but not nearly as bad as they used to be. Occasionally I indulge, but it is much easier to control my diet because I am rarely hungry. I just focus on getting in my Protein and Water every day.

I lost 20 pounds the first month after surgery.

I loved a nice cold glass of milk pre-op, now I can drink it but it's not as refreshing, almost tastes warm to me even right out of the fridge, just not the same. Also, hard boiled eggs sit in my sleeve & make me feel yuck but I eat scrambled eggs almost everyday for Breakfast. It's weird how that happens post op!

[Cait12 52]

I can't have fast food anymore. It's like my stomach knows I shouldn't have it and sort of shuts down. A couple times I was desperate for some Protein so I got a burger from McDonalds, and a couple bites in I couldn't stomach it. (ha!) It made me feel just overall gross, and gave me a heachache.

[fp9107 121]

I can not tolerate full fat milk or creames , thick cut pork chops or Pasta. I do not tolerate french fries either.

[KayCTheNewMe 50]

Beef is my no go now. And so are dairy products like cottage cheese and yogurt (heavy dairy?) I can only have 1 cup of milk a day if im lucky. Oh, eggs are a no go too. Sucks that all of them are so high in protien lol

[Itsme! 98]

Yellow cheese. I can only do white now.

Other than that, the only thing would be generally nothing sounds good.
