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.

For me anything with milk. Breads and hot dogs.

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.

      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... :(
