What Are Your Cant Haves



Recommended Posts

Elizabeth Anne, I bought mine on Amazon.com and got the chocolate varitey as well they came together for around 12 dollars.

I ordered mine from Amazon too. When I got mine, I noticed that it came from a town about 20 minutes from me, lol. I had no idea when I ordered it. It tastes really good in my smoothies, but I've never tried it in much else.

There is really nothing I can't eat as long as I pay attention, chew and eat slowly. With that said, if I am anxious or tense, I can forget about eating...rushing in anyway will cause PB or being severely uncomfortable. Mornings, I am just not able to eat at all for a few hours or more unless I drink some hot liquids. Needless to say, I drink a lot of shakes or Water. Oh, and the car.... Not a good idea unless you have a bag nearby. In my case, it's not enough time to focus and chew properly... Unfortunately it's going to be trial and error. I have found it helpful to journal my mood/emotion as well as my food which is how I discovered when I have the most problems.

Funny about the car....It is only recently that I have NOTbeen eating my Breakfast on my drive to work. It usually takes me 30 minutes with all the traffic. Perfect amount of time to eat and keep my eye on the clock to time in between bites.

Rice. That is one thing I for sure can never eat. No matter how it's cooked. I can no longer eat chicken or turkey breast and those were my favorite. bread is hit or miss. Most times, though, I can't eat it. Hamburgers are hit and miss as well. Oh, and fresh or stir-fry broccoli. I can't eat it.

It really is hard for me to plan meals each day for myself AND my son.

For those who can't eat turkey, chicken, or beef, how do you get your Protein? Most all my protein comes from meat sources. There is no way I could get all my protein in if I couldn't eat meat. I refuse to live on protein shakes....I know their are eggs, cheese, and milk also, but meat is your biggest source of protein.

Did I hear a few people say they can't eat shrimp or lobster? Please tell me you are the only one!?!? Shellfish is pretty much the only Protein I eat, other than the shakes. Say it isnt so!

So far I can eat shrimp and lobster. When I mentioned it to my nutritionist, she was surprised as she's heard many of us can't. I was eating steamed chicken & blended broccoli from Chinese takeout before my first fill and did fine. After the fill, no more chicken, no matter how much I chewed. So for now, it's steamed shrimp & broccoli. I had lobster the night before my first fill as it was my birthday the day of my fill. That went down with no problem but I haven't had it since so I'm hoping it won't be a problem now. It's not like I eat it every week. It's a treat.

I cant do tortilla's. I tried it two different times, chewing really well the second time and still got stuck. So now I just have my chicken salad/tuna salad on a piece of toast.

Both times was flour...I haven't tried, nor do I think I will, the corn ones. It's weird I can have bread but a bite of tortilla forget about it.

Welp. Tried a plain, no bun all beef hotdog last night. Nope. That sucker killed me for about 4 hours until I finally had to bring it up. I had bad heartburn all night and woke up with it STILL in my pouch. Sucker would not go down. Check that off the list. Yuck.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
