What have you eliminated?



Recommended Posts

There are a lot of foods i have given up since getting sleeved. I am much happier changing how I eat and don't have any problems with my new meal plan.< /p>

However, I was talking to my friend today and I told her I have completely given up bread. Her late mother had gastric bypass and used to eat whatever she wanted - chips, soda, various of unhealthy foods. She did reach her goal though. My friend told me that I can still eat bread but should change to wheat and only have it in moderation.

What about you all? What have you guys eliminated and would you add bread back in?

I have not had bread yet. Maybe someday, but there's just not enough room after Protein. I've basically given up most carbs - rice, Pasta, potatoes, etc.

So have I. I don't eat carbs at all! I do miss it though. Everyone keeps telling me I should slowly add carbs back in but I don't think I'm ready. Plus, I have had rice / bread once since getting my surgery in June and it just doesn't sit well in my stomach.

I have pretty much eliminated anything made in a factory.

Yup. Me too. I try to eat as clean as possible.

bread is both physically uncomfortable for me to eat, and verging on nutritionally worthless. I don't eat it and I don't drink anything carbonated. When I am in weight loss mode, I also eliminate all grains, all starchy veggies, Beans and legumes, and sweets.

Sugar, simple carbs (bread, Pasta, rice), a lot of heavy meats (they are just too dense for me to get down), soda/sweet drinks, candy, fried/greasy food (except chickfila nuggets, but they actually work well in my diet). Pretty much everything I used to love, lol. I have little to interest in food, so my diet is a bit of fruit, protein/nutrition bars, Soup, cheese, and usually a lean meat as my dinner meal. Occasionally I'll have a little 100 cal bag of popcorn or baked chips, but as the time passes, I don't even crave that anymore. I'm so busy between work, school, and a million other things that having nutrition and Protein Bars to nibble on throughout the day is the only way I can get food down (It's a struggle to get to 900-1000 calories, and without the nutrition bars, I wouldn't come close).

No bread for me....my tummy hates it now...so it's just not worth the pain to eat it. After 6 months, I'm not really missing it at all.

I eat an occasional sandwich thin, because my trainer insists I need some more carbs, but bread, Pasta, rice etc sits like a rock in my stomach and makes me feel sick for about an hour after I eat it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
