Eating certain foods irritate new stomach?



Recommended Posts

So this maybe too much info but I'm in the purée stage I have stuck strictly to the diet to prevent irrational to my new stomach today I had a few bites of cottage cheese and mashed potatoes thinking I would be ok from this boy, was I wrong complete opposite! Diaherria almost immediately! Has anyone else had this? I'm thinking it maybe cause I'm introducing new foods?

Not sure about other people but I am a little over 2 months out and my new stomach doesn't tolerate potatoes in any form very well. I'm not sure why since I have heard that others are allowed mashed potatoes very early on but it doesn't sit right with me. I get a full feeling after a few bites and then it just refuses to stay down. Cottage cheese I do fine with but I know that you can become lactose intolerant after sleeve so maybe that's a possibility? How are you doing with other dairy products?

My stomach doesn't like eggs in any form. Before surgery I loved eggs and drank coffee all the time, but not any more. I haven't tried potatoes. I'm too scared to try new foods.

I am so NOT allowed potatoes yet and I don't even recall seeing it in my next stage when I'm 6-8 weeks post op. Only 2 1/2 weeks post op now. I've eaten the ricotta bake just fine, tonight it didn't sit well, but then again, I think I ate too fast. Didn't get sick, but didn't move around much for a 1/2 hour until I felt it settled.

I was very very sensitive for the first month or so, and I am still sometimes dealing with issues. Even today, 7 weeks out, I had a light coconut milk chia seed pudding that I made (very healthy) and it just didn't sit right. I felt seedy and like I had drank a litre of thick cream! It was too rich. I have even had chicken go 'straight through me' so it's just a hit and miss issue at the start for me!

Nothing has irritated my stomach so far but my diet is fairly simple. Certain foods my brain tells me is not a good idea like eggs. I love eggs but since surgery if I even think about eating them I get quezzy. If I ate them im sure I'd be ok. It's just the food i eat has to be appealing.

Everyone is different I suppose. I did well with mashed potatoes (which was allowed during soft foods stage) I also love and do well with eggs. Great protein!

The one time i tried eggs or cottage cheese, i was hugging the toilet for what seemed like hours. I haven't dared try cottage cheese again but i did try a bite of egg and it was okay. Im staying clear of dairy, it hasn't been kind to me.

I have to say silky tofu and hummus are new foods for me this week and im loving it.

Good luck

      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.
