Every one is different. Many ppl have issue with chicken. Sugar is an item to be cautious of. Eat slow and Any new food after surgery take a small test bite,.chew it well and wait 5 min. You should know right then if its working or not. You'll feel the pressure. Waiting can help you avoid gettting sick and worse pain.

I can't eat pork. It hurts like hell, even pureed it hurt. Now I had some tuna and I was surprised I was fine.

The other thing to remember is having help with solids, we shouldn't drink n eat or we will slow our weight loss. But use something wetish / ketchup, avacoto, tomatoes, dressing with meat makes digestion easier. I'm just starting solids pureed and my family eats smashed coliflour instead of potatoes, I am able to puree some meat with that for a meal. Follow the rules, they are given for a reason and you'll be glad you did. Best of luck.

Right now I can't eat chicken at all. I can't eat pork chops. No more Arizona iced tea(had it last night explosive poop)... Lesson learn. I did try bread even though it should be 6 months cant have wheat white or anything bread. No tortilla neither.

Soda is recommended as something we should never drink again, but others say they have had it. Debate is whether it strectches out pouch and it is empty calories and diet soda is bad for cravings and caffeine is bad for bones. Like everything there are conflicting reports on what one can have and not have. I think what you will and not be able to have will be individualized. So far I can handle anything I have tried except if it has too much sugar (greater than 10 g sugar, stupid greek yogurt got me). But I have not tried fried foods, pizza etc any real unhealthy junk food from before, so who knows how I will react to those. Plus what you react badly to now changes over time. But to stay healthy and maintain weight loss it might be important to consider what you eat and keep junk food, swwets, soda etc to a minimum once you are able to tolerate them again(don't believe in total depravation) a real mimimum.

Just my two cents worth, not worth that much LOL

I have not identified a single thing that I can't eat but...I try to eat healthy so there are a number of things that I used to eat pre-op that I haven't even tried to eat post-op. There isn't anything that I can't do (after recovering from the surgery) and a LOT of things that I can do now that I couldn't do before. You're gonna love the new you!!

I am able to eat tortillas. I bought corn tortillas and made a quesadilla with Lofat cheese and canned chicken. It was good. I used the taco sized tortillas.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
