Foods I can no longer enjoy..



Recommended Posts

I have trouble with meats, bread, and tortillas. I can totally get why someone would turn vegetarian. When I fix my plate, I eat the meat first because I am "supposed to" and chew chew chew. It still gets stuck sometimes. By the time I get to the other food, it is usually cold.

Some friends of mine think i'm fibbing when I say I can't eat bread but can eat toast or I can't eat tortillas but can eat a tortilla chip.

Accountess--I have the same situation as you, but I haven't tried toast and with my past experiences with bread, I don't want to even go there. I miss bread and pizza, but who needs the carbs anyways??

I am the SAME as you. I think there are a few of us out there.

I can't eat ham and thin sliced meats (turkey, chicken) but CAN eat STEAK! and roasted turkey/chicken sliced a little thicker. I can also eat crunchy streaky bacon but not soft back bacon.

I can't eat soft bread, but I can eat a crunchy crust, well done toast and crackers.

For me the crunchier foods go down much easier.

Sometimes though I get stuck with EVERYTHING!.. and silly me I will carry on with solids at my next meal and still get stuck instead of going back to liquids.. I also have a bad habit of forgoing Breakfast (like many I get stuck on everything first thing in the morning) so have a soy milk coffee or soy milk ht chocolate. Not good I know. I get so hungry sometimes and just can't face anymore cottage cheese!! lol

But the weight I gained back (7 pounds) is now slowly coming off again.. thank the LORD!.. so hopefully be a few pounds lighter before I go to New Zealand next week for Christmas...!! (and will be thinner for my New Year holiday with my fiance in Hawaii!)... all this to look forward to!.

Happy Holidays

bread and dry chicken breasts are the only things that really give me any trouble. I can eat just about anything else if I take really small bites and chew really well. If I don't, then there's nothing I can eat.

I just started researching Lapband, but I gotta say, reading these posts have not been encouraging!

When you guys say you cant eat or cant handle something, do you mean if you try to eat it you end up throwing it up?

not for me, it just takes a LONG time to go down or can be painful (sticky sushi rice & dry chicken are my problem foods).

i haven't thrown up since banded.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
