I've had nothing disagree with me....yet, so I would like to know as well.

Though, I'm 3+ months out so I think the odds are with me. Finger crossed!

It came back to haunt me in a much less appealing form. :wacko:

Some comebacks are not inspiring.

Only disagreeable food was a couple bites too much of a good thing. Had reflux for a few hours, but it went away.

When I was able to start eating soft mushy foods @ 6weeks, scrambled eggs did me in and @ 5 1/2 mos.,they still get me, I can't eat high fat ground meat, steak, pork chops.

I couldn't eat strawberries for a while. Felt like sandpaper in my tummy. It's fine now. I have not had anything else disagree with me. Others have said that some high-sugar or high-fat food gives them the runs. Some people get gas or cramps with spicy food, or reflux. I'm fine with spicy food.

I'm 5 days out and I'm still trying to figure it out. Everything hurts going down. My stomach sounds like world war 3. I haven't been nauseous or had to vomit after eating anything in particular. I had some Beans today and I have to say the pain and the sounds together was a good example to me of a food my body is not ready to accept, which sucks because I loved Beans :( .

Most of us are on liquids the first two weeks. It might be a bit early for beans. What do your guidelines say? For what it's worth, I eat beans quite often and have since about 6 weeks out.

So, even though things are staying down, including eggs, my new tummy still sounds like a dinosaur fight.

I boiled the hell outta some broccoli, and thought that would do the trick. Sadly, it came back to haunt me, and I spent much of the next day in the bathroom. Otherwise, I have learned that stuffing in that extra bite or 2, despite what your sleeve is telling you means immediate regurgitation for me.

On a less gross note, most foods sit just fine with me. :)

Sorry you're still having trouble! I agree with the above post that you should focus on liquids right now. 5 days out means nothing will feel good. You haven't had time to heal at all yet. Give it a week or 2, and beans will be just fine.

Scrambled eggs with very small pieces of bacon. Tasted like heaven the first time...not so much the second time. It lasted less than 10 minutes before making its reappearance. I felt horrible for hours afterwards. I'm at 5 months and too scared to try them again.

The only other issues I have had were from to much of a good thing. Then I spend the next couple of hours regretting eating that last little bit of food. I have learned to not take that last bite of anything.

I still prefer yogurt, cottage cheese and Soups.

Beware of rice,

Take my advice,

Dear sisters and brothers,

It doesn't play well with others.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
