I'm newly sleeved and I was wondering what foods are hard for you personally to digest? I've heard random foods like ground meat, chicken, lettuce..etc.

I am almost 4 months post op and still have a hard time with, broccoli, corn, and garbanzo beans. I have yet to try lettuce. Steak is difficult for me to digest. I can eat it but it feels real heavy. It's funny I can eat refried beans... Or even whole boiled beans.. But garbanzo beans no way.

what foods are hard to digest?

My sleeve is an "equal opportunity sleeve"!!

will listen and eat anything without any problems

I am on soft foods and not really having a problem. While on puree I tried some smoked chicken breast pureed with bbq sauce. I was able to eat it, then it set like a brick in my stomach. I didn't get sick, but I sure didn't like the heavy feeling. Tonight I went out to eat with my husband. We had mexican. I ordered a chicken enchillada with the sour cream sauce on the side. When it came out I scraped the salad off the plate. I scraped the chicken out of the corn tortilla and poured a little sour cream sauce over the chicken. I ate small bites with a spoon. It tasted awesome and I had no problem. I might of had an ounce of chicken, very little cheese and sauce. Good luck. I haven't had any issues. I normally measure a 1/2 cup food and most of the time I can eat all of that and then I am done.

My only issues seem to be w/ beef & lettuce.

I seem to have a cast iron sleeve at 6 months out. I try to stay away from white flour items though as a couple of bite and it sits like a brick. And I have a crazy reaction to too much sugar, I get flaming hot, break out in sweats and get nauseated.

Fried fish makes me vomit

I can't eat scrabble eggs but boil eggs is so heavy in my stomach
