I just have a question...I am in the process of prepaeing for the surgery.

Are people having problems not being able to eat certain foods? I had the VBG in the past and could not eat healty foods like fruits and vegetables. The pouch couldnt process more than a bite or 2. HAs anyone run into this problem with the sleeve?

Thank you!

I am 9 weeks post revision tomorrow and I am allowed to eat anything as tolerated. I have not thrown up once which I did quite often with the band, however, I do get a stomach ache and occasional diahrea if something doesn't agree with my new tummy. I think everyone is different but I have had problems with anything made with heavy cream like soups, ice cream, etc... Besides that I can eat about 4-6 ounces of food including fruit and veggies. Best of luck!

I'm almost 10 weeks out and me and eggs, plain water, broccoli, and ice are not friends anymore. All of those are things I could eat before surgery with no problem. Now, not so much. But everyone is different.

I have not experienced any problems with any foods - steak, salad, fruits and veggies included. It is a leap of faith as everyone has a different experience. Knocking on wood now.

I want to thank those who have replied to my question and those who might reply in the future. I cant seem to find a button to click on to reply to posts....does anyone know how to do that?

Tomorrow will be 7 weeks postop for me. A few weeks ago, I had issues with a scrambled egg and also with lentil soup. I seem to be fine with beef and everything else I've tried.
