Food and drinks?

[Amberbo 7]

What foods and drinks could you no longer tolerate or have once you had your sleeve done?

[SleeveSoon 191]

I can no longer tolerate carbonated beverages (beer, soda, etc.) after my sleeve surgery. I can tolerate most foods - in moderation.

[Bufflehead 6,358]

Any kind of bread with yeast and anything carbonated. Nothing else bothers me.

[Kindle 8,667]

No carbonated beverages. I can eat/drink absolutely anything else.

[Emmasue53 35]

No dairy products

@@Emmasue53 did you have dairy issue prior to surgery?

[Amberbo 7]

And from the other comments it looks like I will have to give up my red bull and dt cokes and coolers and possibly my luv for bread lol

[Emmasue53 35]

No I didn't

[Titaniumsleeved2014 42]

Yea probably I also had start drinking soy milk

[christinems4280 8]

tuna. Which made me sad because it's such a good Protein source and I loved it before surgery. But I tried it twice after and it made me violently ill.

As for bread, rice, Pasta, or carbonated beverages - I have no idea. I was told to keep them out of my diet so I haven't tried.

[Amberbo 7]

Oh no! I hope I can eat tuna lol I luv tuna as well

Hi Betty,

I was where you're at around Thanksgiving and began moderate alcohol consumption again.

I was 216 then and now 193 - down 23 pounds or about 2 lbs a week. I am 3 lbs from goal. I also am finding that on days when I drink, I also end my stall and actually lose weight. At least that's been the case for 9 of the last 11 weeks!

It wasn't an easy decision because it was ahead of schedule per my program, although their advice was inconsistent.

Here are my own personal rules:

1. Don't drink everyday - even if you're only having one. This is good for your diet, your liver, and keeps you in full control and knowledgeable that you're on the safe side of any sort of addiction.

2. Log everything you drink and their associated calories. Stay within your calorie limits.

3. If you do this, you'll be limited to 1-3 pure drinks. I drink bourbon and Water, red wine, and vodka (all around 100 calories a drink). In the case of vodka, I started with a shot in a 12 ounce wine glass full of ice. I would let it sit for 10 minutes until it became vodka and Water. I am now adding seltzer water up front. I know that it is carbonated, but the vodka seems to kill the bubbles. It looks completely flat.

4. Wine (red) is the only thing I drink when I'm out to dinner. It is easy to sip one glass over the course of a 1-2 hour dinner.

5. I am on an antacid and since ulcers are the primary risk of alcohol consumption, I take it a few hours before my cocktail. Also, recognizing that alcohol is a diuretic, I make a point to drink extra water before and after.

I think the key is moderation and if you do drink, have a plan and stick to it.

Like most simple carbs, it's a slippery slope, so be aware and be careful!

Cheers...
