I really miss salads! I Keep trying, but they just don't sit right. I'm 3 mos. out. Please tell me it gets better. I'm ok with cooked veggies, just not leafy salads.

I had a chipotle black bean burger and that thing "barked" at me for a solid 2 days. Worst heartburn I've ever had!

I just bought some of those at Costco! Love them!

I had some and I could hold them down.

@@SleevyWonder - Funny because I was going to purchase the lobster bisque they had on sale.

I'm 17 months post-op and still can't do raw veggies, so it may not get better. The good news is, salad is pretty much a waste of sleeve space anyway, so it's better to get your Protein in.

It does get better. I promise. Have you tried fresh spinach instead of leaf lettuce? Spinach is softer and milder. I love my salads as long as I have a vinegar based dressing. Anything creamy, or sweet doesn't stay around long!

I believe fresh veggies and a salad occasionally help to cleanse one's palate and reset it.

It would be a dreary world without freshness.

Straight milk. I can have any dairy products, but if I try and have a cup of milk I get dumping syndrome.

My stomach can't handle anything remotely hot/spicy.

I tried to make pancakes with coconut flour, eggs and bananas and was miserable for quite some time. I think it was the bananas.

I've been extremely lucky, I'm 10 weeks out and I haven't barfed since leaving the hospital!

Skin on chicken. I always make skinless chicken breasts but was running late so I picked up one of those rotisserie chickens already made in the grocery store. I don't know why but because the skin was on it I craved it. Big mistake, suffered all night. Same reaction to tilapia but I think I just that too fast but I will never eat fish again, only shellfish:)

I am at 9 week post op and most food still makes me ill I am really hoping this feeling goes away. I am afraid to try much more then cottage cheese, mac and cheese, Soups, and Protein shakes. I really hope someday I can eat more food and just keep up with my smaller portion. :rolleyes:

Mac & Cheese? Not really the best choice at 9 weeks out. I do think things will get better for you. 9 weeks is still pretty early.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
