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!

I took 2 bites of a spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. then i felt a burning sensation in my chest immediatley. needless to say it came right back up. that was a horrible experience....yuck...i wonder if ill ever be able to have anything like that again or if im permanently done with it.... im afraid to try again

Over a year out and still having trouble with beef, pork, white meat in poultry and can't eat canned tuna...Feels like led hit my stomach...After that they make a return trip for which they came....yuck!!!!!

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.

You will feel too full, almost to the point where it feels like the food is backing up in the end of your esophagus. It's unpleasant. Eat slow like they tell you, and I know it is hard, and you will get a feel for your capacity in a short amount of time.
