Eating Carbs Kills Me At 5 Months



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on June 11th and I still can't handle any kind of carbs. Does anyone else experience this? I have tried pizza, Pasta, Rice, Potatoes and foods that have carbs in the ingredients. Instant belly ache. Feels like I swallowed bricks after only a few bites of these foods.

I can't have the crap ones. I've tried chocolate cake (son's bday party) and it's the bricks, but brown rice, whole wheat Pasta (just a tiny bit) potatoes (white or sweet) are all fine. Are you trying the more complex carbs (whole grain and brown?) I rarely even try the "white" stuff because I know it's not good for me anyhoo.

I don't eat that stuff anymore. It does feel like bricks and when I eat something with sugar it's beginning to feel really uncomfortable in my stomach. So back to Proteins and veggies. I can eat a ton of cheeetos, so I can't have them around me at all....They are so evil........

I hope this happens to me. Since I am a carboholic it would be a blessing to keep me on the straight path. Surgery just 3 more weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I struggle with simple carbs as well. No Pasta or rice for me at all. I can eat a bit of mashed or baked potato, but it seems to fill me up IMMEDIATELY, and doesn't sit very well.

I'm turning into a complete carnivore! So it's even more important that I keep up with my Vitamins. I do some fruit once in a while as well, but the sugars kill me!

And I also think Cheetos are evil......but so is popcorn! I can eat a ton of popcorn as well, as long as it doesn't have more than a touch of butter on it.......going to the movies is hard now! (but we still go....LOL).

If I do small portions I can do them & this is recent being able to handle them. I will be 4 months on the 16th.

I havent been sleeved yet but my nut said to avoid bread rice and Pasta for 6m- 1 year because they are very sticky in your new stomach. Good luck!

No can't tolerate them especially soft tortilla shells/wraps - I thought they would be better than bread but they are worse. I think its a good thing. I do love crackers and cheese now.

I don't really know how I would do with carbs because I eat low carb. However, last night I did try a bite of a chicken quesadilla. It was fairly good and did not cause any issues, but it didn't set off any flavor fireworks either so think I will just stick with the purer forms of Proteins. I don't really crave anything and often find myself talking myself out of eating when it is time to eat. However, I then remind myself that it is important to eat a small meal every 3 hours for the weight loss to work.

I have the same issue where i tell myself that i HAVE to eat. Pre-sleeve i was a very lazy eater. I'd go all day not eating and then pig out w unhealthy carbs a nite. Now when i don't eat two things happen: I can't 'make up' for it later by eating more. And the day after i don't eat I feel like crap. I've done that 2x in the past few weeks and I pay for it. So i know i HAVE to eat. In fact today I just spent all afternoon in the kitchen preparing food for next week: little wonton cupcakes, shrimp & salmon. It's going to be a good week!!

But I stay far away from most carbs. Those foods are my weakness so I won't even start.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
