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

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
