What foods can't you eat?



Recommended Posts

dm5201: If you had surgery on the 24th of August, wouldn't you still be on liquids? (pizza ?)

I'm moving into regular foods. All surgeons are different. It was thin liquids, then mushy, then soft foods, and regular diet. By the way, the thin crust pizza went down well...

I see you are presugery according to your profile...

Ugh! I cant eat tuna, no way, no how!!!

Even the tiniest amount sits like a rock and blocks me up.

I cant eat even the smallest crumb of a scone (I'm a chef so I tried a tiny morsel at work...stuck up good!) or bread in any form.

Meh... good riddance to carbs I'm thinking... and I can live without tuna :smile:

Rach.

dm5201: Thank you for your answer: Yes, all Dr's requiremtns are different. I had my surgery yesterday and came home last night. It went very well and my stomach is very sore this morning. I am on now all liquids which include potein drinks, v-8 and Tomato Soup for two weeks. I lost about 20 lbs on the pre-surgery diet. (cheated once)

So now I am within 60 lbs of my goal.

Any type of steak is an absolute no for me. The only way I have been able to get it down was to take sips of Water while chewing it.. Which was only because I was a dinner guest and the host didn't know I can't do steak and I felt rude turning it down. Besides, I love steak!

I also can't do chicken breast.

I have to be careful though, because I have been able to do bread, rice, Pasta, popcorn, pretty much all of the no-no's with an ease. I am hoping with the fill I just got yesterday that I will not be able to down those so easily anymore.

I cant eat corn on the cob! I love it too, and I live near a farm that has the best corn on the cob.:smile:

Three years out, I can eat: rice, soft breads, chips, nuts, anything that seems like I wouldn't be able to eat it.

I CAN'T eat: any kind of fruit (I don't understand why, because I need fruit in my diet!), tortilla, wheat thins or wheat Cereal, any kind of soda, frozen margaritas hurt for some reason, french fries

The only thing I gripe about is the fruit issue! I don't understand why I can't take it in. Only berries seem to go down okay, but even then sometimes those contain the most sugar. All I want to be able to eat is watermelon :(

I am 1 year and 8 months out and I have trouble with moist bread, chicken and rice/nori sushi (I can eat sashimi and Poke without a problem)

If I am socializing I have to be careful to chew well as thats when the dry meat gets me if I don't chew to apllesauce consistency. I also drink in social settings (Water, ice tea) to keep things flowing ...My band doesn't like carbonated things

I am tight in the morning. Haven't filled in 7 months by my choice as I am trying to change my lifestyle and don't want to use up my band too soon

You do need periodic adjustments because you stomach also loses size so the band becomes looser from the changes

Too dry of meat and bread. Those are the only things I can't get down.

Just because you get stuck on a certain type of food doesn't mean it's going to happen every time,,,timing, temperature, texture, size, bite, etc play into getting stuck...so technically no food is out for me except I steer clear from eggs...I love them but want them for Breakfast and since I am tighter in the morning, it's just not happening. I sometimes can get a piece of bacon or nibble on toast. Maybe I should try eating them for dinner.

I have about 9cc in an 11cc band (I think). I have lost 107lbs.

3 weeks out from banding. No fill. Haven't found anything I can't eat yet. I've kind of strayed from my mushie diet and can eat anything I want. I had thin crust pizza earlier. Now have to go for a walk to get it off my hips and thighs.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
