WHY IS IT THAT WE CANT EAT CORN AFTER THE SLEEVE?

Oh i wish i knew the answer to this! I cant eat corn (in any form) broccoli and all green leafy vegetables (unless they are puree'd) , my sleeve just doesn't like them at all :( . I don't know if having my gallbladder out also has attributed to this. *shrug*

we can't eat corn? I have no problem eating corn. Don't tell my sleeve!

It may be because of the level of carbs and sugars in corn. Also corn tends to be hard to digest in a normal stomach. ????

At almost 11 months out, I have no problem with corn. It's summer, and I loves me some corn on the cob! I don't eat it very often, though ;)

My surgeon said no corn for the first year. He claims it's digestable reasons, but my guess is it's easier to forbid it than to get people to understand it's a starch and a carb, not a veggie. So it doesn't fit into our diet till maintenance anyways.

corn, like most other grains, is super high in carbs. It is also high in sugar, and his little other nutritional value. In my program, grain (and starchy veggies and refined sugar) are off the table entirely in weight loss mode.

I don't know - the sleeve doesn't care. Its often a no-no for the bypass due to the concern of it getting stuck in the stoma, but that isn't a concern with the VSG since we still have the pyloric valve in the system. Some maintain a belief that carbs are bad (much like fat was bad a few years ago....) so for them corn is probably out on that account. I didn't have it much while losing simply because its nutrition isn't all that high relative to its' caloric cost, but there was no physical reason not to have a bit of it during a summer BBQ.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
