So I guess the stomach noises and burping are all normal...I haven;'t thrown up or felt nauseated

and I have learned that when I say...one more bite..DONT DO IT

I have done that twice now because I feel like I should be eating more volume and I felt like I would pre surgery and ate a thanksgiving diiner and too much pie!

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.

Yep. Too much of a good thing is my problem too. And I hate that it varies. One day I can eat a whole scrambled egg, the next day the last few bites come right back out again! My baby sleeve is very cantankerous!

My NUT said no raw veggies or fruit until 3 months out. You'll be able to eat them again! Don't worry!

Wendy's Chili mimicked dumping for me. It was awful. I had to throw up, sweating, severe stomach pain and I nearly fainted. I won't be having it ever again. I'm nearly 5 weeks out.

I still can't seem to eat tuna, or really anything with Mayonnaise yet. Sadly, I can't eat even 1 bite of baked potato, although mashed goes down ok. Sometimes eggs - over easy or scrambled - will disagree with me. For all these foods, they sit in my stomach like a rock and totally make me regret eating them. Oh, also boiled eggs and deviled eggs are hard to take these days. The fluffier the egg, the better my tummy can handle it, in small portions. I'm ok with white meat chicken now, but at 6 weeks I could only do the dark meat and I didn't enjoy the taste of chicken at all. I've gotten over that now. I don't really eat fruit or veggies, but I am able to handle super steamed broccoli, which I know give some people the fits.

One food that I enjoyed pre-op but can't eat now is cottage cheese. I think I ate too much of it pre-op, and now it tastes totally sour to me. Doesn't matter what fat %, etc, it all tastes sour now.

I'm in my 4th month now. Eating "new" foods can be an adventure, especially if I'm in public or with friends (none of whom know I had surgery) - I've actually had to stand up from the dinner table and pretend to look at a picture on the wall in order to give my tummy room to stretch or I was going to throw up right then and there. I tried to act natural! LOL

Just wondering what does your diet consist of? Is there a "got to" or "staple" food that you can trust?

Beware of rice,

Take my advice,

Dear sisters and brothers,

It doesn't play well with others.

I eat rice all the time with no issues. To the original poster, everyone is different.. Yes we all have a common thread but you will, through trial and error figure out what works for you.

      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!
