Watermelon! It's the only food that comes right back up when I eat it.

Beef was intolerable for the longest time. After 6 months, anything goes, but I do not eat bad fat, bad carbs, pastas, most fruit, breads or sweets. Essentially, I eat a modified Paleo diet now and feel great, full of energy.

Fiddle.....have you read "The Primal Blueprint?" It's modified paleo....my wife has been doing it for the past 2 months with great results.

Sorry for the hijack.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I will check it out and see if it fits or improves my current eating strategies.

I'm 3 weeks out, plus gallbladder removal. I can't eat whey, (yes, that's right. No shakes or powders), dairy, or high fat. All 3 give me physical pain in my stomach, severe nausea and diarrhea. Oh, I can't do scrambled eggs either. A dime sized amount felt like I'd swallowed a very large brick. On the plus side, I have never slimed or vomited.

I thought I would try cantaloupe, because it is an easy fruit to eat. Big mistake: burned in my tummy for hours. Ironically, pineapple, which is my favorite fruit, went down with no problems. pineapple is on my nutritionist's list as "after 6 months" (and I am only at 3 months), so I am going to lay off it for awhile. I'm trying a peeled apple next.

Before VSG, I used to eat Atkins Protein bars -- like 5 a day (that's close to 1,000 calories. Any wonder why I had a weight problem?). Now I can't stand the sweetness. And they are sugar-free. I can eat maybe 1/2 of One Bar, and then put it away for another few days. Last time I was in GNC buying one little box of the cranberry-almond flavor, the mngr of the store commented that he had never seen me buy so few (I used to get 10 boxes at once). He didn't comment on my nearly 50 lbs weight loss however. Guess I am affecting his bottom line, huh?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
