Well really your doctor should be giving you more guidance or pointing you to someone who can. You have a unique situation. It's not appropriate to just take advice from the Internet.

I know it's the weekend and you'd like information now, but I agree with your unique situation you should check with your NUT first. Did they give you rules/guidelines to follow? We're you 100% cleared for 'normal' good now? I had the band so may progression might be different than yours. Sorry to hear you had multiple surgeries to fix the issues yet congrats on the amazing 50 lbs lost. I wish you the best of luck and keep us informed as to how you progress.

Tomassini, I too am allowed to eat anything in moderation (well, almost anything). I can go out fir dinner and eat a small tortilla with chicken, cheese, etc, a few bites of Beans and a bite it two of rice. It all sets well. But, that said, I've never had more than a could bites of rice. If your doc says fine, give it a try. I'd try 1 new thing at a time and use common sense in your choices. Go slow and be patient with your tummy.

I'm sorry to hear if your post op complications. I'm 9 months post op sleeve and I eat anything g I want in small amounts. That being said, I choose to stay away from all breads (just a bite here and there and I chew it up well) as well as rice. I love garlic shrimp with Portuguese rice but when I indulge it's a very small amount of rice (1-2 tablespoons) and I chew it as best as I can. I tried Chinese fried rice, which I used to love, but I just don't like the taste of that anymore. I guess my tastes have changed along with my habits!

Thank you ladies, your advice help me a lot cause I'm so used to having rice at least 3 times a week and Pasta only on Sunday, I don't want to break family tradition. As for my surgery my doctor is fine with my decision I just wanted to make sure it's ok to eat wat my family and I like.

I'm so happy I can eat out too which is once a rmonth. Yes I had a bad complication on my sleeve surgery my doctor which I won't reveal his name, that day my doctor had done 4 surgery ahead of me, so when it was my turn that day he was very tired and didn't close my stomach correctly so I had a big leakage lot of throwing up high fever and infection inside my abdominal wall I was close to death. So I Thank God I'm completely 100 percent healthy again.

And thank you ladies????????????

It's pretty easy to have mostly the sauce / topping with just a bit of Pasta or rice. The good news is the sauce will most likely be in the "soft food" category and really easy to handle, whether it is Pasta Sauce, stir fry or other Asian food, chili, Salisbury steak, stroganoff etc. just choose the lower calorie options and be careful of too much fat which can cause dumping. With the pasta you will probably want it have just 2-3 noodles and with the rice just a small spoonful and have just a couple grains with each bite. Otherwise you will not fit much of the Protein. You might end up like me and realize you prefer the toppings to the starch! I think a lot of our parents and grandparents used starch to "stretch" the food and make it go further. We don't need to worry about that post-WLS.

      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.
