Any.... Green leafy vegetables ( even though I love them). I got intestinal distressed before surgery but ate it anyway.... I really loved salads. Now I understand we have to part ways. I really miss salad but cannot risk it

My NP told me to just eat the toppings. Chopped carrots, cukes, onions, bacon, cheese, Tomato, seeds, etc. Add a little dressing and skip the filler leafy crap. Yum.

I can imagine the look on their face when I order my favorite salad..without the lettuce..so doing this!!

I haven't sworn it off yet, but roast beef has been a problem. I will likely try it again at some point, but I dumped or nearly dumped each time I tried it and it was miserable. Most everything else as long as I eat slow and with Condiments is fine.

How long ago as your surgery and what did you have done? (Sleeve, RNY ??)

I'm planning to give eggs one more shot in maybe six months (one year after surgery). If they don't work out, we're done for good.

Kale has been a no go from the very beginning...it gives me violent gag reflexes and makes me hungrier than before. The hell with that as a salad resource...I'll be sticking with mesclun. Steaks and Pasta (in reasonable quantities) have worked since about the 4 month point, which is interesting because that's what people most frequently say they can't do (and that's probably a good thing). Anything with heavy cream gives me a much faster food coma than before, and anything sweet has pretty much the same effect, regardless of calorie count, though I haven't experienced actual problems with anything.

From the beginning, I could only tolerate really really really soft scrambled eggs. So soft, they were almost runny and I added a lot of butter and cheese.

I can now tolerate quiche and fritattas, I can eat a soft boiled egg but can only tolerate about half the white. Same with fried eggs.

The harder cooked the egg, the less I can eat, unless I add a lot of mayo or sauce.

I can't do bread. I get a stuck feeling and it's terrible.

I used to love hot dogs and liverwurst....no more. Dogs get stuck, and liverwurst just tastes nasty now. I have no clue why, I used to eat it all the time, since I was a kid. I'll give it another try again now that I am almost a year out from surgery.

I can't do raw veggies, they go right through me. I'm reduced to pretty much mushy cooked vegetables and/or veggies, in Soups.

eggs, not loving too much anymore. I used to eat them all the time. Hard boiled are the easiest for me, now.

I'm so glad I can do cottage cheese, or I would be screwed! lol

You were sleeved two years ago? Make an appointment now!

Ask if you should try anything while you wait.

I suspect acid, so start with a good ppi or switch if yours stopped working. I used dgl licorice from the health food store to help. I lost my appetite and too much weight a few years post sleeve - but I recovered. Don't linger, get healthy.

No steak or chicken breast has worked for me. Kale is apparently a no go also.

Pasta has also never stayed with me. Says the Italian girl.... Spaghetti squash is substituted.

Fish seems to be my friend

Lately.... Better than beef (target) seems to fill in for some items and my band has ok'd it....

I learn and just go on. food just doesn't have that ugly hard grasp on me after all these years. Thankfully [emoji93]

Fried chicken [emoji55], I tried to eat a chicken wing, the flat piece and my body said this is a no go. I felt like something was literally sitting on my chest and in my throat, Iwanted to puke. I guess we live and we learn - trial and error, and this definitely was an error

anything fried for me- creates intestinal upheaval. High fat foods too, I still can't eat bacon.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
