My enemy food.



Recommended Posts

Ive tried to eat pork 3 times and cant do it. All three times it was different cuts, prepared differently and it makes me sick. What foods are hating you? Anyone?

How far out are you? From about 6 weeks to 8 or 9 weeks I didn't do well with crisp tender or raw cruciferous veggies like broccoli or cauliflower, but now at almost 6 months out I do fine with them. I would take a break from any foods you can't tolerate for a couple of weeks and then try again (at home of course and a small amount that is chewed very well).

7 weeks today. I have tried only small amounts of pork, but I think its just too heavy still. I havent attempted steak or roast beef. Back to the old drawing board.

Yes. Pork is also hard for me. I would try again in a couple of weeks. I do fine with lean beef.

I am almost 10 months out and still can not eat pork or beef....It makes me feel sick and sometimes I have thrown it up.....

I mostly eat chicken...brown meat and fish....so much fish I think I might be growing gills...lol

Love the fish...light and not heavy on my stomach....

I can also eat a very small portion of lamb....I watch that too because it turns on me so fast!

I can no longer eat salmon! Weird, right??? Other fish is just fine but the taste of salmon has become so strong it makes me ill to eat. The same with turkey!! Depends on how it is cooked. I can do *some* pork. Nothing breaded at all. I try to stick with mainly chicken and fish since those are the two that go down the easiest. The lighter the better! I am 7 months out from surgery.

Very strange, but I can't tolerate any kind of lunch meat. I can eat pork, beef,chicken, fried, breaded, really anything I want except the lunch meats. I have no clue why this is.

Beef got me forever. Ground, steaks, thinly sliced lunchmeat - any variety, I just couldn't do it.

Iceberg lettuce is still my enemy. Something about it causes me problems if I have more than one or two bites.

Same goes for flour tortillas. I hate them. They gum up and get stuck and I'm left with a plate full of food because I only managed two bites.

I also avoid rice for the most part because it does the same thing.

2 months out and haven't had an issue with anything except apple. I had salad ( with apple) earlier this week and felt dreadful. Tonight I ate less than 1/4 of one as a snack and feel icky again. Guess they'll have to go on hold for a few weeks. :(

I'm almost 3 months out. I get super sick on cashews. bread, which I've only tried once or twice, makes me feel stuffed in a bad way with only a bite or 2. I haven't even bothered with rice or Pasta. Only wish I had the sane problem with crackers. Those go down fine and they were one of my trigger foods before surgery. No crackers in my house!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
