What foods can't you have again after the sleeve? I've heard grapes because of the skins. What other and why please.

Well I should weigh back in.. So at 39 days or barely 7 weeks, I've started to try many things. Still scared of grapes, rice and asparagus for sure. But tried things like carbonated drinks, popcorn, etc. Only been sick 3 times and it was from a shake, Soup, and eggs. Go figure. Thank goodness no slime so far… But just topped 50lbs lost and I’m watching everything but basically can’t eat much. It’s kinda good really. I’ve read each of your post and have heard the opposite of what seems like each of your post So much information out there…. So confusing sometimes. My doctor did say after 6 weeks, eat what you think you are big enough to eat, but really try to stay away from x, y, & z. So I’ve done what I heard was the best. Eat Protein first, then vegetables then carbs.. Ha, I can barely get the protein down at a meal but I feel awesome so guess that can’t be too bad. Now if I could only get enough protein in without the shakes as I HATE them with a passion. (Buts that’s a question/statement for another forum)

Thanks for all the advice as I’m looking to each of you for different answers and past experiences.

i am 9 weeks post op today. very sweet things makes me feel icky if its more than a bite. i ate a small piece of very dark chocolate today and i was fine. i had a small amount of rice noodles and broccoli about 10 days ago and it did not sit well. but i am not supposed to have either just yet anyway! lol

eventually i can eat anything, except my nut says but very soft doughy bread. this can actuaaly get stuck in the stomach. i can live without tgat as long as i can have toast eventually! i miss rice too. and raw veggies. roght now, just focusing on getting inthe Protein. i couldnt tolerate the shakes and discovered Protein Bars instead. i eat half at a time. met rx Protein drinks mixed with milk work for me too. just not the shakes. ugh.

What about popcorn? Will we be able to eat popcorn again?

I can eat popcorn. My surgery was on May 30, 2013.

So much for open bar and all you can eat places lol. So much for vacations all inclusive lol.

I'm preop, but LOVE reading all the posts from you post op'ers...I am scared to DEATH about being so sick,so I am going to try and stick with the regime my NUT has advised, very nervous about not being able to tolerate the protein shakes, ect especially while on the full liquid diet for 30 days. Welp I guess it's par for the course...just hope one-day I can have a small glass of wine again. Must admit reading all the postoperative posts is a little overwhelming, but helps with preparing for the mental part of adapting to the sleeve. Going on line to order the book Emotional First Aid Kit, now

At 5 months out, I can eat most things (except what's on my forbidden list - alcohol, gassy liquids) but choose not to eat certain things such as rice, bread etc. I still find that if I forget to really chew food fully, it can be uncomfortable but that's my fault, not the food's. For me, it's not so much about what I eat, it's about how I eat and mindful eating certainly helps avoid discomfort.

I have an occasional glass of wine. I've had beer too but it is very filling, like eating something. The feeling passed quickly though. The only foods I have trouble with are Pasta, rice, beef and some breads. I also find that high-sugar foods make me feel queasy and strangely the Quest bars do that to me too.

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274

Do u feel the beer faster than before surgery. And how long after surgery did u wait to start drinking again. Im asking because my sister 21st bday coming up and i want to have a drink or two

I'm 18 months post op and 1 beer gets me tipsy. I used to drink heavily on occasion but now I just avoid it. Sugary drinks are just too much too.

9 months out and I do have a problem with some sweet things but one thing I can not tolerate is frozen yogurt. I barf every time. Crazy, huh?

fro yo usually has more sugar than ice cream.

I'm about 7 weeks post op and I'm finding that rice does not sit well at all (like a lead weight actually) pasta makes me slime (doesn't bother me not a huge pasta eater) and red meat is hard to digest at this moment

I'm not missing them either. I tried them once because they were on my list of foods o introduce. But they really don't make me feel good at all

Sweet stuff makes my stomach bubble...

So I had my surgery on 26th of April 2013. I stayed on liquids only for approx 3 and a half months (till mid august) because even just the smell of cooked food made me so nauseous. If I tried to eat I would just vomit after the second bite.

In those 3.5 months though I did eat a lot of watermelon which I was very proud of. My consultant however didn't share my sentiments. He said "of course you can eat watermelon easily....it's mainly water!" Hehe

So after the 3.5 months I started by eating scrambled egg. Just one a day mind you....couldn't handle much more than that. I'm eating a lot more variety of foods now but still have trouble with red meat.

I absolutely love fish at the moment. Very moist and chewed heavily before swallowing. Also love eating soft chicken with salad. My salad of choice consists of just lettuce and cucumber with lots of lemon on top. Thank god I don't have problems with reflux and have heard from a lot of people that lettuce can be difficult but I love it!!!
