Having trouble eating Solid foods

[LizzyJane78 0]

As of Today it has been 3 months since my surgery and according to the guideline that my doctor gave me I should be on solid foods. I can eat solids but only certain things. I cannot seem to be able to eat rice, noodles, eggs, bread, or any type of meat, if I attempt to I throw up (I throw up alot). Does anyone know if that is normal?? I am thinking of becoming a vegetarian, bc it seems like I can eat black bean burgers, but not regular hamburgers. When I go to chipotle I get black Beans, veggies, and guacomole and I am ok. Dr said I could be lactose intolerant for 3 to 6 months, I cannot seem to tolerate, eggs, milk, butter, cream. his really sucks, Luckily I found a Protein Shake that is lactose and sugar free made by Lean Body (on the Go) and it has 25gms of Protein.

I was told no rice, no Pasta, no bread, those sit hard in our stomachs. I can eat eggs and meat. Red meat is tough on our tummies so maybe try it again in a few more weeks.

You're not alone. For the 1st 6 months, I was very limited on the foods I could eat. Turkey hamburger and refried Beans were my main staple during that time. eggs, chicken, beef, fruit, vegetables... were almost certain to cause Frankensleeve to throw a fit. The funny part was that I could easily tolerate processed foods like creamy peanutbutter! :-(

Hang in there, things will improve as your tummy heals. All too soon you will be able to tolerate more kinds of foods and a bigger volume of food. Take this time to get into good eating habits, like eating slowly, not drinking with meals, and noticing when you feel full - rather than eating everything on your plate.

3-C plan for success!

Control what you can (your actions and thoughts).
Cope with what you can’t (external emergencies and other’s behavior).
Concentrate on what counts.

Stay positive. Believe in yourself. Focus on your progress, not perfection.

Thank You so much for replying, I like that you call it Frankensleeve bc that's about what it feels like. I have noticed that Mashed sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes and stuff likethat totally are fine with my stomach right now. My friend made me a carrot Soup and I add pureed sweet potatoes and butternut squash too it, but it gets boring after a while and my family does not fix me anything seperate when they fix everyone else dinner, so I have to either eat a little of what they cooked and then get sick or just drink a Protein shake. I need to go to the grocery store and buy some more black bean burgers they are soo good.

My surgeon and NUT said no bread, rice, Pasta, caffeine, for 9 months. No Tomato skins ever. I'm to avoid starchy foods if I can. Protein first, veg second and there shouldn't be room for carbs.

I'm having the same problem, I'm at 4 month, bypass and I can't eat meat, chicken or eggs. Some fish is ok but not all the time. How to get all of those Proteins in? Getting tired of shakes and Protein Bars.
