I am one of those that falls in the bucket of nothing bothers my sleeve and I am 3 months out. Blessing and curse. I love sweets and the bad carbs so I have to be careful. I also eat way to fast and sometimes the meat feels like a ton of bricks in my stomach.

I, like many others I've seen post, had trouble with the ricotta bake and with Tomato sauce in general. I tried the ricotta bake twice and tho it does taste super yummy, it gave me horrendous heartburn. I thought that maybe I was just eating too fast or not chewing enough, but then I tried something else that had tomato sauce in it & quickly realized what the culprit was. The worst heartburn I've had in my life. Felt as if I had drank battery acid! My whole chest, neck & throat were on fire. Miserable :( I'm now very apprehensive about trying it again anytime soon.

For the first 3-4 months I couldn't do artificial sweeteners or plain Water. I was also lactose intolerant. But those things passed, and I'm good to go with everything except carbonation. I will get a bit of gastritis if I drink too much alcohol or have too many sweets.

I've discovered that, along with my sleeve, I have a built in anti-fried-food switch. Anything fried makes me hurl violently.

That's not really a bad thing! I've gone from considering french fries a food group to being terrified of them. Now if I could only find some physiological mechanism to force myself to keep the laundry caught up, I'd be alright!

I hear some folks get lactose intolerant after being sleeved. For many it eventually resolves, but not for all who get it. Early on, the only thing I found was tough was rice. It seemed like it just wanted to "float". Good think I never cared much for rice! I can do rive just fine now in small quantities. Sushi is a fav. I can do 1/2 a roll. Other than that, as long as I'm smart about the quantity, nothing really disagrees anymore.

I got sleeved July 7th and I get off liquids tomorrow(yay eggs!!) So far my sleeve is total steel, but I've noticed my pallet has done a 180. I used to be able to drink 500 calories of milk a day (easy) and now.. I don't like the taste. Same with all my juices. Now, the only liquid I like is Water. What a huge blessing! Especially considering milk probably contributed to a majority of my weight gain.

My sleeve likes cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, Protein Shakes with milk...pretty well all dairy. eggs, turkey are a definite no go, chicken is starting to be tolerable but no more than two ounces, soft and chewed extremely well before swallowing! I haven't even tried any other meats because they seem to cause me problems at this stage!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
