I have real trouble with anything spicy now. Just tears me up. Also really struggle with meats. Potatoes are a definite no go (unless they're mashed). I feel like I don't really have a set of foods I can "go to" that I know won't hurt my stomach. Every day is a bit of an adventure honestly. Just hit 120 days post-op and have lost 100 pounds almost. I can do like a McChicken from McDonald's or a junior bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's when I'm out and in a pinch. Anyone have any advice on really safe to digest, easy to make home meals?

Hey guys, first post. I had a terrible first day after surgery because my pulse was too low to give me pain meds. Second day I felt pretty good and never had to take any of my pain meds at home. Felt really good, drank really well. Went back to work (retail) after 5 days. Everything had been mostly great until I started eating real food again the past couple weeks. I'm not eating much, but I am suddenly having issues drinking. Iced tea with Splenda seems to hurt now as does PLAIN ICE WATER. It actually seems to hurt the most of anything. At the moment my best drinks are sugar free Gatorade, but it still hurts more now. Anyone have experience with this? I have my 8 week checkup in 10 days but think it's odd that I feel worse with my liquids now than I did the first 5 weeks. I'm losing well, but I am struggling with the liquids now. I would say I feel slightly nauseous all day long, every day, now. Anyway, thanks for any help anyone can offer. Just looking for possibilities. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app
