I am one of those that falls in the bucket of nothing bothers my sleeve and I am 3 months out. Blessing and curse. I love sweets and the bad carbs so I have to be careful. I also eat way to fast and sometimes the meat feels like a ton of bricks in my stomach.

I, like many others I've seen post, had trouble with the ricotta bake and with Tomato sauce in general. I tried the ricotta bake twice and tho it does taste super yummy, it gave me horrendous heartburn. I thought that maybe I was just eating too fast or not chewing enough, but then I tried something else that had tomato sauce in it & quickly realized what the culprit was. The worst heartburn I've had in my life. Felt as if I had drank battery acid! My whole chest, neck & throat were on fire. Miserable :( I'm now very apprehensive about trying it again anytime soon.

For the first 3-4 months I couldn't do artificial sweeteners or plain Water. I was also lactose intolerant. But those things passed, and I'm good to go with everything except carbonation. I will get a bit of gastritis if I drink too much alcohol or have too many sweets.

I've discovered that, along with my sleeve, I have a built in anti-fried-food switch. Anything fried makes me hurl violently.

That's not really a bad thing! I've gone from considering french fries a food group to being terrified of them. Now if I could only find some physiological mechanism to force myself to keep the laundry caught up, I'd be alright!

I hear some folks get lactose intolerant after being sleeved. For many it eventually resolves, but not for all who get it. Early on, the only thing I found was tough was rice. It seemed like it just wanted to "float". Good think I never cared much for rice! I can do rive just fine now in small quantities. Sushi is a fav. I can do 1/2 a roll. Other than that, as long as I'm smart about the quantity, nothing really disagrees anymore.

I got sleeved July 7th and I get off liquids tomorrow(yay eggs!!) So far my sleeve is total steel, but I've noticed my pallet has done a 180. I used to be able to drink 500 calories of milk a day (easy) and now.. I don't like the taste. Same with all my juices. Now, the only liquid I like is Water. What a huge blessing! Especially considering milk probably contributed to a majority of my weight gain.

My sleeve likes cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, Protein Shakes with milk...pretty well all dairy. eggs, turkey are a definite no go, chicken is starting to be tolerable but no more than two ounces, soft and chewed extremely well before swallowing! I haven't even tried any other meats because they seem to cause me problems at this stage!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
