So I guess the stomach noises and burping are all normal...I haven;'t thrown up or felt nauseated

and I have learned that when I say...one more bite..DONT DO IT

I have done that twice now because I feel like I should be eating more volume and I felt like I would pre surgery and ate a thanksgiving diiner and too much pie!

Scrambled eggs with very small pieces of bacon. Tasted like heaven the first time...not so much the second time. It lasted less than 10 minutes before making its reappearance. I felt horrible for hours afterwards. I'm at 5 months and too scared to try them again.

The only other issues I have had were from to much of a good thing. Then I spend the next couple of hours regretting eating that last little bit of food. I have learned to not take that last bite of anything.

I still prefer yogurt, cottage cheese and Soups.

Yep. Too much of a good thing is my problem too. And I hate that it varies. One day I can eat a whole scrambled egg, the next day the last few bites come right back out again! My baby sleeve is very cantankerous!

My NUT said no raw veggies or fruit until 3 months out. You'll be able to eat them again! Don't worry!

Wendy's Chili mimicked dumping for me. It was awful. I had to throw up, sweating, severe stomach pain and I nearly fainted. I won't be having it ever again. I'm nearly 5 weeks out.

I still can't seem to eat tuna, or really anything with Mayonnaise yet. Sadly, I can't eat even 1 bite of baked potato, although mashed goes down ok. Sometimes eggs - over easy or scrambled - will disagree with me. For all these foods, they sit in my stomach like a rock and totally make me regret eating them. Oh, also boiled eggs and deviled eggs are hard to take these days. The fluffier the egg, the better my tummy can handle it, in small portions. I'm ok with white meat chicken now, but at 6 weeks I could only do the dark meat and I didn't enjoy the taste of chicken at all. I've gotten over that now. I don't really eat fruit or veggies, but I am able to handle super steamed broccoli, which I know give some people the fits.

One food that I enjoyed pre-op but can't eat now is cottage cheese. I think I ate too much of it pre-op, and now it tastes totally sour to me. Doesn't matter what fat %, etc, it all tastes sour now.

I'm in my 4th month now. Eating "new" foods can be an adventure, especially if I'm in public or with friends (none of whom know I had surgery) - I've actually had to stand up from the dinner table and pretend to look at a picture on the wall in order to give my tummy room to stretch or I was going to throw up right then and there. I tried to act natural! LOL

Just wondering what does your diet consist of? Is there a "got to" or "staple" food that you can trust?

Beware of rice,

Take my advice,

Dear sisters and brothers,

It doesn't play well with others.

I eat rice all the time with no issues. To the original poster, everyone is different.. Yes we all have a common thread but you will, through trial and error figure out what works for you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
