Every single time. I guess that could be a good thing, because they really aren't good for you. I ordered some wings today thinking they would be dry rubbed and not fried but I was wrong. Just a couple bites and I was sick. I still am.

Blah.

Anyone else with problems with greasy foods? I don't know if this is going to be a forever thing or what.

Didn't you have your glallbladder taken out? I believe that may be the reason. Only healthy food for you my friend, not a bad thing, right? If that was the worst it would be okay.

Nope. I still have my gallbladder. I had a hernia, maybe that's what you were thinking of.

At any rate, I think I will probably never eat pizza again. That is the only sad part about it! ;0)

Yes, hernia. I remember now. You had the chest pain. Hum, I wonder why such sensitivity from fat. I have read other people having various food intolerances. But I have also read that they get better with time for some peope. Right after surgery your tolerance is very low specially since all the stomach enzymes are not in place, not to mention gut flora. It's like being a baby again introducing a new food at a time to see what agrees with the baby. I am not looking forward to that.

Also, someone mentioned it took a whole year for her to adjust to some foods. I guess we'll have to be patient and hope for the best.

Oh, no pizza.... tear. It made me bloated anyway but I did like it.

I'm the same way. I've gotten sick so many times from greasy foods that it makes me nauseous just looking at the stuff now.

Yep, I guess it's been 3-4 times for me. I should know better. Today I didn't realize the chicken was going to be fried. I even took the skin off and still got sick!

pizza doesn't bother me, mostly. Its the pizza bread with which I have trouble. Some greasy things bother me also such as a burger (the patty and only if it isn't cooked over a flame broil so all that grease can drip out and I don't eat the bun) and wings. I can eat a small wing, fried and about 3 naked wings, anything more and its Zantac time.

So for me bread and fried foods are things of the past. Oh and sweets. Took a bite of my daughter's Tasteykake and back up it came! All fine with me. I really have no appetite anymore so its very easy to eat my good Proteins and healthy complex carbs.

I don't have a hard time with sweet things so far, but I am not eating a lot of them. I had a sliver of cake about a month ago and did fine.

I have had issue with beef at times, but not always. I think I am going to start keeping some kind of food journal. The time of day I ate something, what it was, and how my body reacted. Maybe I can keep up with what not to eat if I do it that way.

What does the Zantac do for you? I was taking that for acid before. Now when I am nauseous I take a zofran.

The Zantac helps indigestion. Sometimes it sneaks up on me. I have it on-hand for eating out as a just in case.

I think sweets do me bad because bread and I aren't friends any longer so the refined sugar + bread is not my pouch's friend.

Gastric Sleeve.

My dr told me GERD could be an issue with the sleeve. I have had the bypass. I had a pretty bad problem with GERD before the surgery due to a large Hiatal hernia I had repaired when I had the bypass.

Yeah. Mine told me that too. I had a serious hernia also. It seems to be so common with these surgeries....hernias being in existence prior to surgery.

I had a choice between the sleeve, bypass and band. The bypass was too scary for me and I had heard so much bad stuff about the band. Plus, the band isn't permanent so sleeve won out. Best thing I ever did.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
