obviously post op, my diet will be controlled by portion and type (protein, protein, protein!)...BUT...eventually, I will be able to be a bit more liberal with diet. So, what foods did you LOVE pre-op that you CAN'T eat post-op, because of physical inability, or nausea/vomiting, etc??? More curious than anything...

I'm week 10 post op and I'm still trying new things. I have had very bad experiences with anything that has much fat in it. I took a bite of the fried crust from fish and chips and two fries and felt bad for hours. I ate a few bites of chocolate cheesecake and felt really sick. For some reason pineapple doesn't sit well' date=' nor do boiled turnips. I don't have any trouble with bread, but I don't eat it because I just don't crave it much anymore and would rather eat "real" food. Right now my favorite things to eat are chicken, yogurt and cheese.

My surgeon said he wanted me off of Protein shakes by Jan. 1 and only eating food. That is freaking me out just a little.[/quote']

I have trouble with fatty foods also like ham and beef brisket. My solution is just to stay away from them. I have not tried anything fried like fries, deep fried fiish and so on. after my experiences with higher fat foods, i am afraid to see what deep fried food will do to me. The other food I struggle with is eating steak. It tastes like heavy metal to me and gives me a very crampy and very uncomfortable stomach, for hours. I am not sure why,but maybe it will get better later. I keep trying to eating beef, but same results. Chicken, fish and pork are generally ok.

I cant eat hot dogs not even fat free ones. Stuff that use to taste good dont taste as good any more. No sugar for me either.

I can't tolerate sugar at all.

*Omlettes

*Burgers (I tried to eat little sliders, minus the bun...not good!)

*scrambled eggs (sometimes)

*more than a few bites of pasta

*a few other foods, as well.

Milk

Great question! I tried an artichoke a few nites ago and it didn't agree with me. It's a fav of mine so I will try again.

I'm 4 months post-op and chicken and eggs are still very unappealing to me. I pretty much only eat fish & cheese these days.

I haven't had to give up anything, and that makes me happy. Everything in moderation.

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!

Shrimps and chicken

Why did she recommend no corn?

RICE!.. i'm filipino and our culture eats rice with everything... its a staple at home, but not for me... i tried a a bite or 2 and my sleeve did not like it at all, it felt like someone punched me in the stomach and left their fist inside me! Sounds crazy but thats how it felt like.

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.

I have a problem with popcorn because of having had diverticulitus several times and not wanting a reoccurance. But corn? Interesting....

Hamilton does not like sugar in "large" quantities. I can't eat a whole cookie without feeling a bit sick and other sugary foods. I just feel gross and icky and my sleeve aches a bit.

Soda is another. It makes me feel extremely bloated right under where my bra sits and I just get super uncomfy for an hour or so. This wasn't always the case, it just happened rather recently.

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.
