Okay... i know this is all about lifestyle transformation and i am still pre op so its not like ive tried to order fish and chips after surgery...

What i want to know is...once in a blue moon will i be able to go out with my hubby for a special dinner and order beer battered fish and fries? Cause it is my favorite thing in the whole world...i crave malt vinegar like its no ones business ever since i was young...i just want to know if it will ever be possible to eat battered and fried fish? Or will it always be a no no

At some point you'll be able to eat what you eat now. You just won't be able to eat as much of it.

I don't have any issues with fries but battered anything makes me so sick still at 9 months out!

It will be more like a piece of fish and a couple chips...lol

I have had it since surgery, but I never really have room for the fries after. Even when I do eat some fries, they make me really full really fast. I can eat anything now that I want, but still can only fit about 1/4-1/2 a cup of food. I try to order half orders, but if I can't I just save the left over fish, and throw away the fries. You will be able to enjoy everything again soon enough. I recommend sticking to your surgeons diet as long as possible to get the most out of your sleeve. Good luck!

It may not be your fav post op. some foods that I liked per-op, particularly greasy foods or lactose-heavy foods, do not appeal to me any more because I often don't feel well after I eat them. But everyone is different and you may not have the issue with these foods.

Not that I never eat them, but they certainly don't call my name like they used to.

Yah i worry about the grease issue..as it is i dont handle greasy foods well..they give me a gut ache and make me sweat profusly after eating it

I hope that your sleeve will cooperate so that you will be able to enjoy your favs as an occasional treat!! I do! It's all about keeping a healthy balance so that you can continue living your life to the fullest without feeling deprived.

At a year out I can eat a very small piece of fish, but only a few french fries.

Of course! However just be careful with the fish ... it can tend to be a bit dry as they don't always use the freshest fish. I can usually eat half a piece of fish and a few fries
