Things Tummy Doesn't Like



Recommended Posts

Celery is on my never list, so it's safe to say that's accurate. Do the pork chops get stuck?

I think mine is sweet peas and Gatorade. With the sweet peas, the sick feeling was instantaneous, but the Gatorade was weird. I drank an orange one yesterday and I had no issues. Today was a different story, after half a bottle I started to feel nauseous and proceeded to dry heave. I blamed my husband for the sardine cans in the garbage, but then I tried a blue Gatorade and got nauseous again, so no more Gatorade for me, back to Water. :)

How long have the 2 of you been sleeved? It's been since 10/24 for me.

That's great! I was sleeved on the 27th of September. I'm still on soft foods, and will be until 2 weeks before Christmas, so Thanksgiving is going to be interesting :lol:

Did you drink the G2 which is light? Regular Gatorade may have too much sugar.

That's why I am so confused, I had the regular one yesterday, and it didn't bother me, I wasn't paying any attention until I got halfway through the bottle. Today I got the low calorie low sugar one and it made me sick. Then I tried a blue one, a sip just to swallow a pill, and I got nauseous, this was a regular one. I have been drinking Water the rest of the day with lemon and feeling fine, no more nausea. I'm just going to leave Gatorade alone for now sugar, or no sugar and stick to water with lemon. I agree though, the regular has 21 grams of sugar in a 32 oz bottle, that is too much, I need to keep drinking water anyway so I can keep it a habit, I was just trying to make a switch up from crystal light.

I understand. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and my mouth tastes like Crystal Light. So happy to be on full liquids so I can have a variety.

Tiny tummy (6/7 weeks) does not like Pork rinds, butter, anything with onion, anything with Tomato, sports drinks (even low cal ones), baby food with chicken, peaches n cream whipped yogurt, Soups with much fat, too much Water at a time.

The things my tummy absolutely hates is anything I eat in more than tiny baby bites, anything I don't chew we'll, and anything I eat too fast.

I have not tried any bread, crackers, rice, (keeping 100%to the NO refined carbs thing) and no sugar either. So not sure how I will react to those - maybe I never will! :)

Sleeved May 15, 254 beginning weight- 4 days pre op. today I am 153. 101 lbs lost. Size 24- to size 6.

I'm ten or eleven weeks out from my first surgery and was cleared for anything this week. Last night I experienced my tummy saying NO for the first time in a big way (vomited for half an hour) to an Oh Yeah Protein bar I had before bed. I woke up and knew I was going to puke....which since my second surgery I'm supposed to avoid like the plague! So I puked and then worried all night LOL very productive!

I think something in the bar (some crunchy bits) was something that must have swollen up in my tummy (they were sort of like rice crispies). I don't know what they were but I know Oh Yeah bars are off the table for me for a long time if ever.

I have had a few bites of things that didn't go down well with lots of chewing. Lamb chops (they were moist but the fat around them was unchewable and they went down like rocks). Halibut oddly enough, even cooked right (which should leave it soft). Crab is challenging...feels heavy going down, and sadly...red wine :( My palate is destroyed and it tastes bad. I'm dedicating my life to work through that one though LOL It used to be all wines but now whites and rose taste good...but red is still a challenge. My tummy is fine with it, but my tongue thinks it's vinegar.

I generally seem to have what others have called a "sleeve of steel". The one thing I'm starting to have problems with is coffee. It did not bother me at all until recently - now, at six months out it makes my stomach burn. I take Rx Precavid twice daily already. Maybe adding coffee to an empty stomach is just not going to work anymore!

My sleeve gets a chip on the shoulder and a serious attitude when I eat strongly veggies or higher fat meats (pork, beef, etc). Lean meats are ok, but brisket and real ham give me dumping or something like it without the diarrhea part. Since everyone reacts differently to food, it is a crap shoot and we have to learn the hard way through our own struggles of pain.

I must have a stomach of steel. The only thing that has bothered me is when eating meat. If it is to fatty I find that later I will reguritate just the fat but not the meat. Sounds gross but at least I can keep the meat Protein down. I am only 2 months out and have to really watch my portions already. If I do not measure each with a cup I could keep going to a extent. Short honey moon I guess.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
