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

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!!!

I love salads too with chicken or with chili Beans on top.....

I can't eat chicken. Ugh. It makes me want to hurl. In fact, it makes me hurl for real.

Orange juice and anything sour does not do well with my sleeve. Other than that, I've done good with everything else. I still havnt tried hotdogs though, I'm scared to! Lol I'm 6 months out.

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

2 years out and i eat popcorn at movies but in moderation. it shrinks down to nothing so you can get in more than is a portion size. its a be careful. it can shrink down but the cals/fat/carb content doesent. i only have so many carbs on my daily meal plan so its def an over for me on plan. number one thing i cant have is any type of carbonation. just cant do it and dont want to ever take the risk. but even now i can only have 2 sips - i will order if i have a craving have my two sips get full and dump it.

Question for ALL of you who posted on this topic...Would you say that post ok eating is a bit of a trial & error as each person had to see what they can tolerate? So depressing to know ther isnt anyway to know in advance of either getting sick or having those Gosh awful "slims" that many of you speak of :-(

It's all trial and error really. I noticed I'm more in tune with my body though, it will definitely let you know if you eat something that doesn't agree with you.

There is absolutely nothing that I can never eat again. Grapes, citrus, pineapple, soda, sesame seeds, fibrous veggies, alcohol -- all things that were restricted for me for a time, but once I was fully healed, no issues whatsoever. The only thing I don't eat is any wheat products.. but that's due to an intolerance unrelated to the sleeve.

I agree. You def need to listen to your body. I'm learning to eat slowly and I'm very picky over what I eat to make sure I'm getting all the right things in.

I've been keeping a timer and waiting about 2 mins between eat bite. It gives my body a chance to feel full.

And you experiment. Just because at The moment bread Pasta n rice don't sit well doesn't mean I'm not going to try it again. But I'll try it in the privacy of my own home
