What upsets your sleeve now?

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

I can eat soft scrambled eggs cooked with butter and cheese but the whites of hard boiled eggs stick terribly. I love them but they come right back up.

WAY too much sugar or fat in a day. I'm not talking one fried chicken leg for lunch, but if I have a particularly low impulse control day and overdo sugar or fat at multiple meals, oh... it's baaaadddd times ahead. Moderation is key for me!

I'm almost 18 months post-op, so everything else that others have mentioned aren't problems for me ....

... except for what @@bikrchk said: Too much sugar on a given day makes me feel like crap for several days thereafter. Ice cream is a particular problem, because it's also a trigger food for me and one of those things I can eat more of than I "thought" I could -- until I feel like shit. I don't dump -- just feel blah for a few days and resolve Never To Do That Again.

BTW, I've never thrown up a single time since WLS. My stomach doesn't like to give up food once it's down there. ;)

I'm 29 months post-op and I can't have anything that has been fried, anything with oil, anything creamy (like salad dressing, sour cream, cream Soup, anything milk based), milk that is anything other than skim or almond/soy, fish, cheese, most sugars (although that is hit or miss- sometimes I'm fine, sometimes I puke), and periodically random things that don't usually make me sick- like today my granola bar made me barf. Basically my new stomach hates all forms of junk food and dairy, which is completely fine with me. If you can't eat badly without puking, it's a lot easier to not re-gain weight.

For me, it's rice, Pasta, and any condiment that's sweet---ketchup, bar-b-q sauce, honey mustard, etc.

Any bits of any of them are not part of my ​sleeve's idea of" good company", so an immediate "eviction" is to be expected.

Interestingly, I just tried a little BBQ Sauce (not spicy) with my grilled chicken. I know have the worst heartburn I've had since WLS!

eggs are not my favorite anymore, but a couple of times my husband has made hamburgers and I tried to just eat the patty - absolutely no way was that happening. I ended up feeding mine to the dog. Like a few others, I do ok with shrimp, haven't tried any other fish. I can do salad in tiny quantities. So far only two things that have made me really sick, a grilled chicken pita from a local Greek restaurant, not sure why either - maybe the tatziki???? and some chicken parm from an Italian place by the office - I tried to scrape off the sauce and breading, but it was a no go...

Same for me, dough, Pasta and breads don't sit well with me either. I'm actually happy about it because use to love that stuff and the feeling were mutual (stuck right to the butt and tights). ????????????

Raw veggies make me super burpy (cooked veggies are fine) and breads/dough/crust fills me up SUPER fast in an uncomfortable way.

Nothing. Sleeve of steel here. I haven't been overly adventurous but have not encountered anything I could not tolerate.

After fighting with the band for over a decade and not being able to eat anything but crap, I deserve this sleeve! LOL

I had a chipotle black bean burger and that thing "barked" at me for a solid 2 days. Worst heartburn I've ever had!

All solids go down well, but any Soup that isn't essentially a clear liquid causes violent reactions and long food coma. I would have thought lobster bisque (I know, I know, awful choice) would be a slider food but it just sits there for the entire meal taking up the room I need for better Protein. Not going there again!

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
