swess78 6 Posted April 20, 2016 I am 3 months post op and there is not one single thing that I have not been able to tolerate. I can gulp drinks, drink through a straw, swollow without chewing to a mushy consistency and I have not once felt anything less then normal. This is extremely bittersweet. I wish I had some food intolerances. Has anyone else experienced this? Have any advise, wisdom or support? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted April 20, 2016 Where did you have your surgery? Have you thought to call them and ask these questions? I, for one, would be interested in their reply. Let us know. Keep on Keep'n on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbg224 318 Posted April 20, 2016 I pretty much can do the same. I definitely have restriction after a few bites, but so far 8 months out I can tolerate all foods I have tried and really have no intolerances either.I have overdone it occasionally, too much of something and felt nauseated, but it was more from too much then the food itself. I feel grateful for my sleeve, and really need to watch how much and not push that last bite that puts me over the edge. It is hard. I pretty much can do the same.

Amelie2016 116 Posted April 20, 2016 I envy this. I know you say you can eat "anything" but surely you feel like you can't eat the same amount, right? I STILL have things that bother my stomach. The lining or something. But yes I too can usually drink normally now, depending on what position my body is in. I try not eat more than the half cup or cu of food though because I am terrified of something going wrong. It sounds to me like your stomach is a HAPPY stomach. I envy this.

cbruce125 114 Posted April 20, 2016 I am 8 months post op and can also eat anything. I haven had any issues. I am also finding that I can eat more and am feeling hungry more often. Trying to stay around 1200 calories, but it's challenging now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tobysgirl 58 Posted April 20, 2016 Are you taking Probiotics or digestive enzymes? I am not as far out from surgery from you but I find I can tolerate nearly anything. My doctor encourages lots of drinkable yogurt/kefir, probiotics and digestive enzymes. I think these may be the reason I can tolerate different foods. I still feel the restriction if I eat more than a couple of ounces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swess78 6 Posted April 20, 2016 I had it done in the states. Yes, I definitely feel full and restricted but I get hungry again after only about an hour or two. I can't eat nearly as much as I used to. I guess I'm more thankful that I have a 'happy' stomach and I'm losing weight slowly , I just feel like not much changed as I was hoping with losing the hunger inducing hormones. I wish I hated food! The struggle is real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted April 20, 2016 the only thing I didn't care so much for was steak and venison. will try again later - just made me feel a little off. no real problems with it. I am glad! I can have anything. in small amounts. :-) it's a good thing, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
