I used to love onions, but cooked or raw...all makes me want to vomit now!

So far, I can't have cream of crab soup

Hamburger

For the first time since my surgery (three months) I tried going to a buffet style restaurant. I was sensible and only got broccoli, green Beans and baked fish, thinking this would work. I was so enamored by the look and smell of the steamed broccoli, that I ate it immediately, (disregardeding my training of EAT Protein FIRST). Granted, I consumed it too fast. Then I had a bite or two of green beans. Thinking for a second and realizing I was getting that "feeling" I decided to have a few bites of fish. It stuck at the top of my tum tum. I was done. In other words, it was a disaster. I was sick for the next two hours, with fish oozing back up into my throat and making me sick. I learned a hard lesson last night. Protein first, and I'm not ready for buffet's yet, maybe ever.

Had a slice of pizza Hut thin crust Supreme a week or so ago.

Couldn't finish it. Thought I was going to hurl.

Used to love that stuff.

Doughs, pastas and breads just don't sit well on my sleeve. Don't miss them, either.

It only seems like greasy food does it, but it has to be like a combo of things. It has to be greasy and I have to eat it pretty quickly.

So basically nothing if I eat right

Rice. If I eat more than a few teaspoons (not tablespoons), it comes up about 15 minutes later.

Potatoes. See above.

Well done hamburger or steak. If it's not rare, it sits like a rock in my tummy.

Bread. If it's doughy, it's not going down.

I've lost quite a few favorite foods. I used to love crab and shrimp and they just don't agree with me anymore. I try once a month to see if I can bring them back, but so far no luck. I loved grilling meats (that's why I love your bbq photos @dub) but just an ounce or two of meat feels like lead in my gut. Same is true for chicken. Luckily fish and some raw or smoked meats are still ok. Eggs were tough for a while, but they are ok now. I tried a bit of pizza a while back and won't try that again for some time. Hopefully now that I passed the six month mark some of these issues will fade.

My son begged me to take him to a Breakfast buffet not too long ago.

We went and had some eggs & a grilled pork chop. Didn't finish either, but such is the case these days and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I sat there and watched little guy eat like he'd been starved for a week. It is unreal how much food he puts away when he's onto something he likes.

It his funny to me as he has a BMI of 19.

What wasn't funny was as I looked around at the patrons seated near us.....I quickly noticed how overweight we all were. My son was the only person in our section that was even remotely close to being "normal" weight. I'm talking 40-50 people here......and everyone was large.

I don't normally people watch.....but sitting in restaurants finds me filled with idle time.

After a while I was over that place and ready to scramble out of there. Seeing folks return to the food lines over and over was almost making me ill. It was a stark reminder to what life used to be like for me.

Now....I'm part of the stick & move crowd and so grateful for it. A small tasty meal and I'm done. I'd honestly rather order coffee and Water when I go to restaurants and simply sit and drink while others enjoy their meals. I"m perfectly content in doing this.

I do find myself sitting at the bars much more often when I go out to eat. I don't necessarily have drinks, but it's just much more interactive than being trapped at a table and waiting for others to eat for an hour or two. Chatting with the bartenders and other folks.....sports on televisions, etc. Much more enjoyable for me if those I'm going with don't mind.

Going on a cruise in a couple months and will be laughing inside at all the grazing that goes on. Ironically the last cruise I went on found me dead in the middle of Atkins diet. Drank like a fish in the comedy club & casino every night.....layed around the pool and hot tub all day.....ate some killer food but still lost 5 pounds on that 7-day cruise. The secret was getting up early every morning and killing it in the gym......every single morning. Seeing the sunrise across the ocean from the ocean while walking the upper deck walking trail was a great start.

Thanks. You are really doing great. Seems like it was just last week you had your surgery and now look at your progress ticker. Doing great.

Fried & greasy stuff is not good on me either.

I cannot eat tuna fish with light mayonnaise. So, I thought perhaps it was the mayonnaise. Then I tried to eat some baked salmon and felt so sick. I think I don't do well with fish. I do very well with grilled shrimp, but the two times I have felt violently sick have been after the consumption of fish. I used to love fish. I am a bit sad.

Leilie

Bread- but daves killer bread (1/2) seems to be ok lately.

All lettuce, spinach and cabbage.

Refried Beans - garbanzo and white kidney are ok

NOTHING... I am sooooooooooooooooo lucky, I can eat anything but not a lot of it

Rice

Carbonation

Bread (anything doughy, crisp is ok)

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower) unless it's cooked completely

Eggs make me nauseous! I've tried to eat them a few times and I feel so horrible after just a few bites...

Can't eat anything fried or any type of pork. If I eat anything fried will cause me to dump and pork will just come back up, also for some reason cold beverages really bother me but warm is ok.

eggs. Of any kind. Which sucks because I LOVE hard boiled ones . I'll try again in a month or so.

I kept getting sick after eating them and not putting it together...always assuming I ate too fast or too much. Then one day I was like, hey, this ONLY happens with eggs. DUH. haha
