Irene - you are an inspiration. Your progress is amazing and your pictures certainly show the results!

About your stomach being sensitive to foods that are too high in fat or too "carby" - I am right there with you. I am trying to find some types of beef that I can eat because I am anemic (even though I am on Iron supplements). So far, pot roast or meatloaf seem to do OK and not give me that sick feeling you describe. Grilled steak or burgers don't set well at all. The first time I ate one of those, I had to go back on lquids for a couple of days to get over the sick feeling.

Oh well, I'm thrilled with my sleeve - I'm willing to give up heavy beef and pork dishes to continue of my journey to being thin.

I look forward to your posts - you always have something interesting to say.

I've been having these issues for a long time, but not until recently when I did some back to back bad meals did it start affecting me every time I ate. I became worried that something worse was going on. I did do liquids, ate carefully and mindfully and in the last few days I'm back to normal. I haven't had any problems eating at all.

For a long time it felt like I was the only one that went through this stuff but I posed the question on the FB Sleever group and have mentioned in here in several places and it seems there are quite a few of us. It's just nice to know, not that I wish this on anyone! However someone did tell me that at least it's all the bad foods we have a hard time with. I totally agree, because when I was banded it was all the healthy good foods I had a hard time eating. Of course that left me getting fatter all the time... !!!
