Cannot eat certain foods after 2 years!?



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve over 2 years ago. I started at 287 and weighed in at 268 the day of surgery. Lost 70lbs within 4 months and sadly gained back 45lbs!! In the last yearSmh....I have had a huge issue as far as dieting. Since my sleeve I cannot eat alot of foods. Mainly the ones I need the most. I can't have any fruit (I was already allergic pre-op but still was always able to eat them just got allergic reaction), I cant eat onions, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce , corn (which i LOVE) and many other vegetables and foods I loved pre-op. All those things will ruin my meal at any given time. I have tried eating slowly i have retried so many times to keep them down I just can't!! Even thinking about eating any of those things just seriously makes me sick. I cannot include any of those in my meal or else it will come right back up. I tried training my body and will hold the nausea in but I eventually within minutes after eating always throw up. I also vomit randomly after eating sometimes I just dont know what went wrong. I know about 15 other close friends who have done the surgery and none have this problem. It is soo frustrating to know i went through prepping myself for months before surgery and prepapring for a new healthy lifestyle, healing and taking time out to tend to all my surgery needs both pre and post op and now its all for nothing. I want to know if anyone else experiences this as well??? Any suggestions???

P.S. I went back for follow up appointments and was told it may be the acidic foods but really?? All of them?? I dont know what else to do.

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this. Have you seen a dietician or nutritionist? Perhaps there is some sort of probiotic you can take that would help? They might have some strategy that can help you.

My doctor told me up front that hard to digest veggies would be a no go. My plan actually says I should avoid raw veggies for at least 6 months so I don't think what you are dealing with is uncommon.

What stick out to me in your post is why are you so insistent on eating those foods if you know they make you sick? There are hundreds of other options out there, try them.

What foods can you eat? Do you track and measure your food? There are still many healthy foods left.

Dairy: Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt; milk and low fat cheeses.

Soft meats- crockpot chicken, seafood, scrambled eggs, etc.

Veggies: Have you puréed veggies into Soups? Are green juices tolerable? What veggies can you eat and how do you prepare them?

Do you eat grains, Pasta, carbs? What kinds and how much?

Everything you listed not being able to eat is not essential. You didn't say anything about Proteins at all.

I am guessing you eat a lot of carbs?

Also if you take a PPI and an antacid, you should probably be able to eat those foods.

Corn however is a starch/grain not a vegetable so I would avoid it or eat it in moderation

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
