Jessica _ Stephens 12 Posted November 30, 2015 Hello Everyone, I was just wondering if you had a favorite food or a food you could eat before the surgery but can't eat now? I know we're all different, but I just wanted to see if there were things you really couldn't eat after surgery. Thanks, Jessica! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loriemoms 101 Posted November 30, 2015 I cant eat strawberries and kiwi my favorite fruits. The acid just upsets my stomach so much! Same thing with oranges, but I wasn't a huge orange eater before. I even tried strawberries in shakes and they still hurt. I also miss tomatoes. I cant eat those either. But I can eat everything else...including oysters which I LOVE!

AnA92212 577 Posted November 30, 2015 I am 7 months out and can pretty much eat anything without being hurt. I choose not to eat Pasta or bread. If I order a sandwich, I remove the bread. I can still eat so little and the bread has no nutrition. I do eat carbs. I have oatmeal for Breakfast and Greek yogurt for Snacks. I eat cheese and I even had dressing on Thanksgiving. The only thing I really "miss" is soda. The desire for them is getting better but a part of me misses them. It's not so much that I can't have something, it is that I am choosing something better for me instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loriemoms 101 Posted November 30, 2015 the only time I miss soda is when I am sick. Pepsi was my comfort food. I just like the fizz in my mouth! haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted December 1, 2015 I can't eat ice cream. More than 3-4 bites and I hurl -- from both ends. I also can't eat rice or Pasta. More than 3-4 bites and I hurl -- from the face only. I used to love all three of these foods and I never imagined giving them up. I had the sleeve because I understood that one could usually eat anything post op. I wanted to live as normally as possible. Now I don't even want any of these foods. As delicious as I remember them, they all make me feel so bad, I no longer crave them at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
