What Foods Did You Have To Give Up-Can't Eat Any Longer?



Recommended Posts

I've only recently delved into the world of popcorn because of all i've heard about it....I have NOT had a problem with it. But then....I've had a care free experience. It may disagree with some. I only have one bag of 100 calorie pop. Just enough to satisfy that little urge.

I met with my nutritionist today and she said no corn or popcorn after surgery.....ever.

Anyone have the same restriction, or find very negative consequences when you do eat it? I sure will miss a good ear of corn on the cob in the summer!

I was cleard for popcorn at 10 weeks out!!!

I eat corn and popcorn all the time, with no bad side effects whatsoever. I am also curious as to why your doctor said no to this?

Anything greasy makes me queezy. Also Tomato based sauces don't settle well. But I am not really giving anything up I just put it on my list to try again later.

3 sausage balls at a little holiday party and I was in the bathroom for almost an hour. But not from throwing up. I really haven't vomited nor had the slimes. When I get sick it is with severe abdominal cramping, gas, and sometimes I also actually have a poo.

I haven't really given up a lot. Here is the list:

Fast food and super high calorie or and/or nutritionally devoid food like white rice, white bread, flour tortillas, chips, french fries (except when I do oven fries), doughnuts, regular ice cream/malts/shakes, more than 1 bite of pastry/pies/cakes, or deep fried food.

I usually skip hamburger because it doesn't sit well, but I can eat a little bit. Everything else goes down fine.

I do not use any other oil except lard, butter, coconut or olive. Oils like corn, vegetable and especially Canola are BAD NEWS!

I don't eat milk chocolate, but do eat at least 70% dark chocolate. It's good for you.

I still drink diet soda, coffee and eat popcorn frequently.

I should add the the foods I don't eat are because I won't, not can't. I can eat anything. I just don't waste my calorie allotment on crud. I rather have a steak than a doughnut anyway.

Be extremely careful with microwave popcorn. The oil they use is toxic. It's easy to pop it yourself in a tiny bit of olive oil on the stove top. Eh, use a lid :-)

I'd also like ot know the deal with corn & popcorn. I'm just recently sleeved but I hope that some day I can go see a film and order a small popcorn without getting sick.

Movie popcorn is also bad news. They ruin a perfectly healthy snack with the amount and type of oil they use. I pop it at home and take it in. Just be discreet. It will save you $10 as well.

I'm with msemma,

I tried some whole grain rice (to get fibre for obvious reasons) de-husked and steamed instead of boiled to make it easier to digest. It was like swallowing lead, I didn't throw up but one bite felt like I was tied to concrete goulashes sinking in the Newark River. One bite well very well chewed, forget about it. I love rice, but it's going to be a while before I try it again.

      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! 😞

      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.
