Matt Z 4,139 Posted June 13, 2018 Well, you still have the choice. You can choose food, or you can choose yourself. That list you have more than likely outlines foods that people typically can't eat, it doesn't mean that you can't eat those (you shouldn't) but it also doesn't outline foods you might have issues with after surgery. Speaking of Surgery, which WLS are you going for? Because that changes things to some extent. But yes, part of getting thinner with WLS, is giving up certain foods forever. 2 Orchids&Dragons and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sillykitty 10,776 Posted June 15, 2018 It depends on your surgery, and surgeon. I was sleeved and I have no "forbidden" foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted June 16, 2018 I still eat popcorn. No problems. However, corn on the cob gets stuck and I can't tolerate it. Not sure why? To be successful, you're going to have to give up a lot of your old eating habits. Sugar, in particular, is a challenge for most. Anything refined. It's hard and it takes a lot of discipline. You can't go into bariatric surgery thinking the surgery is going to do the heavy lifting long term. It will do its part and help....but ultimately your habits need to change. People seem shocked when we say....yes, you lose weight through DIETING after surgery. But it's true, it's all about changing your forever diet and your eating habits. The surgery helps, but the dietary changes...the biggest effort... is squarely on you. 1 Laughing Bird reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
