Who can eat everything?

[sparker 11]

Scheduled for surgery June 18th. I'm curious to know if once everything is healed and you are comfortable with the sleeve are there any foods that you cannot eat. Even if you choose nit to eat something could you eat if you chose?

I've never had a problem getting any type of food after surgery and it sucks. lol I totally wish my body hated carbs and sugary things but nope. They were a danger before surgery and they totally are now as well.

I'm almost 6 months...& I too have no problem eating anything!

[No game 14,436]

I haven't had any problems.... After I followed all of my stages in the beginning. And was released to all foods everything has been fine. I chose not to eat certain things but I could if I wanted.

Pasta doesn't sit well.

I'm still reluctant to try bread or rice. I'm going on 3 months postop.

[SerendipityHappens 1,594]

I tried everything except bread since I'm wheat intolerant. I tried fried chicken, rice Pasta, rice, candy, tortilla chips.. Course I don't eat these things regularly, I just wanted to give everything a try when I was going through my reintroduction phases. Yeah, nothing I can't eat! Pretty much have a sleeve of steel!

I'm 7 weeks out and I've tolerated everything.

Thanks. I know there will be things I won't want to eat to get the most out of my . Sleeve but I think it would bother me to be unable to. At least it seems that way now.

Most of the things I try sit just fine. There are days I can eat something and have the same thing the very next day and it does not want to sit well... But over all its ok

I can eat anything. But, my sleeve always stops me from overdoing it. I am 7 months out.

I'm 103 days post-op and can eat anything except turkey. I have no clue why my sleeve doesn't like it but I have gotten violently sick every time I've tried it. Anyone have a theory as to why turkey would make me so sick? chicken, pork, even steak give me no problems at all other than feeling very restricted with the quantity I eat (which I love!!)..

I have to be careful with Pasta and rice, it's like these two things swell up!

[Thefenixrd 5]

I had 15 months after my surgery and the rice still make me feel sick. and if I eat too fast I pay a high price. pain and more until everything is out. BUT NO REGRET!

It took me longer than many here, but I can eat about anything now. Tortillas still bother me but not if I only eat a bite or two. Greasy foods don't sit well either, but that was true when I was younger too. I think I spent so many years eating a lot of them my pre-op tummy got used to them, but no more! I also prefer my apples peeled now.

And surgery unmasked my lactose intolerance. It was really bad early out, but I can have a little ice cream soft cheese, or milk now, just not every day. I was able to tolerate greek yogurt and hard cheese pretty quickly after surgery.

I'm still a newbie at 5 weeks post-op, but everything I've tried has been fine. Still haven't tried steak, carbonation or raw veggies (well, there was a tiny bit of lettuce in something I ate the other day as well as cucumber in sushi) and so far so good. No Pasta yet, but bread, rice and tortillas all seem to go down just fine (granted, each of those have only been a couple bites worth each time, but doesn't seem to bring discomfort or bring "fullness" faster than w/o)
