What irritates your sleeve?

[*Lexie* 1,486]

I'm almost 5 months out and I have issues with spicy food, salmon or anything fried. Really shouldn't be eating fried food anyway so that's good.

I love this Protein chocolate milk they sell in the store here. Drank 8 ounces of it, and totally paid with nausea and diarrhea...didn't actually throw up though. so now I just put a 1/4cup in my Decaf chai or cinnamon tea. Tastes like a Mexican hot chocolate! And no nasty side effects

I'm over 3 months out and I cannot handle milk but I can handle cheeses. I cannot tolerate lunch meat, it gives me terrible reflux. Regular caffeine causes heart burn. I can tolerate pretty much anything else.

So far nothing has bothered me. While that may sound wonderful, kind of worries me. Will just have to be careful and chose wisely.

my sleeve isn't picky about anything either. just over 2 months out and can tolerate pretty much everything I've tried. but I don't do bread, rice, Pasta, pretty much any carbs. the worst I've done was a bite of red velvet cake on vday... I also have 4 oz of solid Protein for meals.

I'm curious- did you try the bread, rice & Pasta and if so, were you fine with that also?

[aSleeveStory 128]

In the first few weeks, I couldn't tolerate eggs (of any variety), cottage cheese, or my favorite pre-op Protein shake.

Now, at about 4.5 months out... I have't really found anything I can't handle. I have tried to make sure I chew things up very well.

Perhaps the only real discomfort I get is when I catch myself eating too fast. The pain quickly reminds me to slow down, though, and I do.

[DgotSleeved 103]

yes!! I have actually tried those things...just to see if I was able to eat them.

rice is fine but honestly I only had about a teaspoon of brown rice

the Pasta I had was pasta zero (please look this up!!!! it's amazing!)

and I had bread once and it was at longhorn steakhouse. I was able to take about 3-4 bites of a slice of bread and while it was fine it did feel a little heavy.

I'm choosing not to eat those things because it's part of the reason I got here in the first place (: lol

So far, hard boiled eggs and ground chicken (but only when packed into a patty shape).

Sometimes she gets bitchy and refuses to tolerate something I just ate the day before with no issues. I guess that's her way of saying, "You've had quite enough of this, thankyouverymuch."

[samuelsmom 670]

I'm assuming it's my peasant ancestors fault, but I can eat ANYTHING without a problem. I am 3 months out today. As you may imagine, this is a blessing and a curse

I've only been on purees since Tuesday. So far I have tried ground beef with a little gravy, tuna with mayo and tolerated fine. Last night I made Eggface's ricotta bake and had issues. I took small bites, waited 2 min. between bites and decided even before i had finished 1/4 cup that I'd better stop eating. I am not sure what happened, but 1/2 hour later I became uncomfortable had to burp and started "foaming." It lasted about an hour. Sometimes this new stomach scares me.

I am 17 days out and cannot tolerate the ricotta bake. I have tried it two times and both times do it up and it really bums me out.

[roundisashape 712]

I counted down the days until I could try the ricotta bake, but it's the first thing that made me sick. Too much cheese, I think - melted cheese is hard to chew enough.

[woo woo 872]

In theory the ricotta bake sounded great, but it grossed me out in reality. Probably the only thing that ever made me feel a little sick.

I am seven months out and I have a sleeve of steel and can tolerate anything I have tried. I do avoid rice, Pasta, and breads just because those were my favorite foods pre op and I don't crave them now and I try to avoid refined sugars. I don't like beef or white chicken meat- they seem to dry for me now.
