What have you eliminated?



Recommended Posts

There are a lot of foods i have given up since getting sleeved. I am much happier changing how I eat and don't have any problems with my new meal plan.< /p>

However, I was talking to my friend today and I told her I have completely given up bread. Her late mother had gastric bypass and used to eat whatever she wanted - chips, soda, various of unhealthy foods. She did reach her goal though. My friend told me that I can still eat bread but should change to wheat and only have it in moderation.

What about you all? What have you guys eliminated and would you add bread back in?

I have not had bread yet. Maybe someday, but there's just not enough room after Protein. I've basically given up most carbs - rice, Pasta, potatoes, etc.

So have I. I don't eat carbs at all! I do miss it though. Everyone keeps telling me I should slowly add carbs back in but I don't think I'm ready. Plus, I have had rice / bread once since getting my surgery in June and it just doesn't sit well in my stomach.

I have pretty much eliminated anything made in a factory.

Yup. Me too. I try to eat as clean as possible.

bread is both physically uncomfortable for me to eat, and verging on nutritionally worthless. I don't eat it and I don't drink anything carbonated. When I am in weight loss mode, I also eliminate all grains, all starchy veggies, Beans and legumes, and sweets.

Sugar, simple carbs (bread, Pasta, rice), a lot of heavy meats (they are just too dense for me to get down), soda/sweet drinks, candy, fried/greasy food (except chickfila nuggets, but they actually work well in my diet). Pretty much everything I used to love, lol. I have little to interest in food, so my diet is a bit of fruit, protein/nutrition bars, Soup, cheese, and usually a lean meat as my dinner meal. Occasionally I'll have a little 100 cal bag of popcorn or baked chips, but as the time passes, I don't even crave that anymore. I'm so busy between work, school, and a million other things that having nutrition and Protein Bars to nibble on throughout the day is the only way I can get food down (It's a struggle to get to 900-1000 calories, and without the nutrition bars, I wouldn't come close).

No bread for me....my tummy hates it now...so it's just not worth the pain to eat it. After 6 months, I'm not really missing it at all.

I eat an occasional sandwich thin, because my trainer insists I need some more carbs, but bread, Pasta, rice etc sits like a rock in my stomach and makes me feel sick for about an hour after I eat it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
