what foods YOU cannot eat anymore?

Just curious to hear what foods you've tried but can't tolerate anymore.

I hear with gb you can't eat sugars (ie candy, candy bars, cake, ice cream, etc) anymore. I'm going to stick with that. I hope. I don't even want to try because if I try and I feel ok then I will eat more and get fat again.

Also, just curious, if you get a craving for something your not supposed to have can you chew it then spit it out to satisfy the craving? Obviously not taking about ice cream. Dangit. Lol

The only thing I've not been able to tolerate was regular ketchup (or was it catsup?).

Since I have no problems with salsa, marinara etc..., I have to assume it was purely due to the sugar content.

I found a low sugar and even sugar free offerings and now can have ketchup again, but it has prevented me from being too adventurous with anything sugary (I assume a really good thing).

I am one of the lucky ones who can tolerate just about anything, no dumping at all, but have I got discomfort after even a few bites? Trust me, it's not just what you can not tolerate but the whole experience of not being able to eat more then a few bites is shocking!

I am happy as I am losing weight but I miss food. Eating now is a chore, a problem, something I am not looking forward to do.

Hi I am 4 weeks out and I can't tolerate scrabble eggs, or anything fried, I don't crave sweets anymore and prefer tuna or my protein shake over anything, I like mash potatoes but hated them prior to surgery. It's like eating now is a chore and a means for survival only.

I am three weeks post-op, and have moved into the puree phase. I keep testing different foods. I eat sugar-free Popsicles, which I had a lot of while i was in the hospital, but that's it for "sweets". Chili and Soups are what I eat a lot of lately. I try not to eat too much canned soup, because of the sodium content. Last week I made a crockpot of chili and took it to work with me every day. My trainer told me to try microwaved sweet potato with cottage cheese. I really like that, too.

I cannot seem to tolerate eggs too well. I've tried them a couple times over the last two weeks, and I throw up every time. Onions cause problems (especially if it something with onion powder in it). I don't handle milk very well, either. I have tried bread a couple times, and it did not stay down either time. Right now, I'm trying to switch up the Protein shakes and puree foods and soups, hoping that will offer a little more variety. I struggle some days, though, to consume more than 500-600 calories. I'm still not experiencing hunger. I can feel when I pass the hunger point when my body starts shaking.

Bread and rice are still pretty much a no no for me. Can eat crackers, so food sometimes is served on a cracker to get the "sandwich" feel. I am now able to eat sm tortillas. Sweet tooth is coming back unfortunately. When I get full, I start burping and if I don't stop eating, I get sick.
