Favorite foods post op?

[Anewlife2live 20]

I love sandwiches, from what Im reading, it seems that thats over for me now. How long did it take before you could eat regular food without any complications? Now that you can, what is your favorite food or snack?

You can eat the innards of your sammich. Just skip the bread

Once you lose a good amount of weight, I don't see why you wouldn't eat a sandwich. However, it might be half of your sandwich, as you'll be full. I am 5 months out now and eat almost everything -- but in moderation. I am really good all week long and on weekends I splurge now and then with bits of my favorite foods, in moderation. It's great!

I need to stay away from spicy foods and some fruits hurt too.

I used to love a good sandwich - Not so much any more...the bread doesn't make me feel good. I will take a bite or two of the sandwich with the bread, then just eat the insides. Same way with pizza - I eat a couple of bites of the crust, then just the toppings.

I don't love the same foods I used to...I don't like or crave Pasta like I used to. I don't crave bread like I used to.

"Favorites"...a BBQ chicken pizza made with a Mission Carb Balance tortilla shell. Homemade chili. Grilled steak. Roasted broccoli and cauliflower.

I am 16 days post op and craving pizza. At what point can I have just one bite?

[able2cope 193]

I'm 2 years out and not had pizza - too scared of the feeling it would give - closest I have came is to skim the topping off and had that.

Really??!!

I'm three months out and I can eat a slice of pizza ok,but dense meats ,like pork roast hurts after more than a couple of bites,pulled pork is ok. chicken goes done the easiest. Oh and hamburger is even worse than pork roast,so If I want a burger I'll eat a veggie burger,these are bun less by the way.

Three months out and can eat pizza but only a few bites of crust, chewed verrrrry well. I can't eat most bread carbs including sweets which I am grateful about because those were my downfall. And forget about popcorn (just came back from seeing Gone Girl) and candy.

Ground beef and I don't agree but chicken, slow-cooked red meats, and fish thats been baked, broiled, poached, or grilled go down nice and easy. Pork does give me problems though, even slow-cooked. I was never much of a pork eater pre-op so no huge loss there.
