I have heard so many stories of peoples bodies just giving up on certain foods or food groups. (I.e. red meat/chicken, high sugar, processed carbs) My weakness and downfall has always been carbs. I would be lucky if after surgery I just couldn't eat it anymore. What has your food been? Has that been helpful or more of a hindrance?

Mayonnaise and eggs

I had trouble with dairy for a little while but don't seem to bother me anymore. I haven't tried anything spicy yet but I don't think I could tolerate it right now.

eggs and jalepenos. Haven't been a fan of eggs to begin with..Now I can't even stand to smell them. Loved peppers but evidently my stomach didn't. I haven't had bread and won't even try it. Sugar bothers me which is good. So I just stick with what I know I can tolerate.

I can't tolerate eggs or dense meat!

Nothing. Nada. Can eat anything. Have not vomited, slimed, dumped or had any adverse reaction. I have tried everything. Not in excess but I have had a few bites of rice. Ok with my tummy. Had a couple bites of ice cream. Check. Bread. Nope, tummy is fine with it.

I am almost a bit disappointed but it just means more work for me. However, I have had the most positive experience with my sleeve surgery and recovery. I am a lucky gal but I must be very careful to make the best choices each and every time I eat. Easy to say, hard to do. I get it right about 90% of the time.

It will be a lifelong work.

Oh, I lied. I have not had carbonation. That was the ONLY no no from my surgeon. I can live with that so I can't say how that sits.

Coming up on three years out and the only foods that still bother me are tortillas, milk and milk products except hard cheese and greek yogurt, and greasy foods if I eat more than a bite or two.

Early out, there were a ton of things I couldn't tolerate, but it's a very short list now.
