Just curious....

I am 1 yr 4 months post op from my ds. I once weighed 350lbs. Today I'm 165lbs. I still want to lose about 20-30lbs. But just curious if anyone who's post op at least as far as I am or even further out has had any issues with foods now that they didn't before. Such as hamburger. Starting about a month ago I started getting sick every time I'd eat hamburger meat. The next day bad stomach pains or in the toilet like crazy. Also throwing up right after eating hamburger meat and I don't over eat. Also anything dairy makes me sick now too and all this just started about a month ago. I thought it was from some new pills my Dr put me on. But I noticed it's just from the certain things I eat..... has this happened where you're fine up until after your year or so and it suddenly make you sick? I just want to know that it's not just me and if it is I definitely would consult my doctor. Also I now actually get the full feeling faster than I did before now my body finally tells me to stop eating cause you're full. Even before I eat the amount the Dr told me I could eat. It's weird cause it all just started about a month ago... well anyways just curious on this. Thanks :-)

9 1/2 years+ out.

That hasn't happened to me. I had foods I couldn't eat the first couple of years but then I was able to eat them. Same with dairy. I had lactose problems the first year and then they went.

Vomiting was heavy the first couple of years but then not much. Nowadays only if I eat way too much or drink way too much after eating.

If I eat too much junk, I'll be in the bathroom; but not something like hamburger or dairy unless I'd eat way too much. I assume you're just eating a normal meal.

The full feeling ebbs and flows. Sometimes I feel full quickly and other times I can eat a lot more. Sometimes I'm starving other times I can barely eat my requirements.

I'd talk to your surgeon & see what's what.

i developed diarrea and cramps from drinking my favorite protien drink sometime about a year out from surgery. The solution was to not drink them for several months, and when i tried it again, it was fine.

i would monitor though - I tolerate most foods (non dairy) quite well.
