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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
