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.

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
