I have ventured into many foods yet but so far everything is tolerated. I used some powdered lemonade drink mix in my Protein powder yesterday and it gave me a bit of heartburn, but was fine once I watered it down a bit.

I know someone who dumps on OJ. She can eat oranges, just not straight OJ. I know another who can't keep scrambled eggs down. Any other form of egg is OK.

I haven't been able to tolerate really spicy food yet. Pre-op I loved jalapenos on my nachos. Post op, the jalapenos bite me big time. I'm hoping that I'll be able to add some spicier food back in as I get further out. I also became lactose intolerant post-op, but that seems to be resolving itself now. I drank some milk a couple of days ago and had no ill effects. :)

I cannot tolerate plain Water anymore. Since I don't like to use any ingredients I can't pronounce, it is a challenge to flavor my water! Herbal teas help, but I find I get bored with one flavor rather easily, so I am trying to add to my selection.

I totally can not eat lettuce or any raw leafy vegatable. . . it causes me incredible pain, like call me an ambulance type of pain. . . i don't eat vegatable salads anymore. . . also chocolate gives me a really bad puke stomach ache, which is good though. . .who needs chocolate. . . I'm not a bread person, but this too has it's ending point. . couple of bites and i feel like i need to throw up. . . it's like the bread is crawling back up my throat. . . yuk nasty feeling. . .the other thing is i dare not mix up foods. . if i'm eating a hamburger tht is all nothing else, if i'm eating some rice that better be it, not rice, meat, veggies, dessert, one food at a time or i'll be sick. . and here is the kicker, I'm out 3 years and still have these going on, but it's ok with me!

hi soon to be sleever

all sleevers react to foods differently. some people might have no problem eating anything at all. The sleeve loves all food. I was pretty much in that category

but the other day i was making a veal stew in the crock pot, and i snitched 2 small raw carrots. Oh no, the sleeve protested against those nasty raw carrots. - but cooked in the stew, no problem...hmmmmm, go figure.

Oh, the other day i had some pickle, oh no, sleeve said "no no no - stop" pre-surgery i loved pickles. :(

again, I can't tell you what food might upset your stomach after you have had your surgery. What one sleeve might not like, another persons sleeve likes that food. Your sleeve will tell you in its own sweet time.

good luck on your surgery

Water makes me nausious...but vitawater is fine, and juices watered down are good. Brown sugar content things caused me to dump, so I try to not used brown sugar when eating oatmeal or cornmeal mush....

It's amazing how everyone is different but I'm loving the feedback and the community. I had my first consultation and I'm looking at my surgery options the VSG is the one I'm feeling comfortable with. It's a big desisicion and I have many questions I'm glad these community available.

1 year 4 months out and there is NOTHING that I can't tolerate. I just don't eat near as much as I used to - DUH! That's why I got the surgery!

Eaten it all, greasy, high carbs, sweet etc. A few times I've eaten TOO much but no particular food give me problems.

high carb makes me sick. . .

I have to confess, we over did it on the carbs last week when we went to Branson for my birthday. I could really tell a difference that I had eaten so many carbs for a few meals. Felt sluggish and dopey. I tolerated it well with no adverse reactions to the food itself, it's just that my system seemed to really hate the massive influx of carbs. I was glad to get back on my more temperate diet this week.

I can eat most everything but I've found that heavily breaded items like breaded shrimp from tgi fridays and heavily breaded chicken are hard on my stomach- makes me nauseous.

      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. 💜
