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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
