Any.... Green leafy vegetables ( even though I love them). I got intestinal distressed before surgery but ate it anyway.... I really loved salads. Now I understand we have to part ways. I really miss salad but cannot risk it

My NP told me to just eat the toppings. Chopped carrots, cukes, onions, bacon, cheese, Tomato, seeds, etc. Add a little dressing and skip the filler leafy crap. Yum.

I can imagine the look on their face when I order my favorite salad..without the lettuce..so doing this!!

I haven't sworn it off yet, but roast beef has been a problem. I will likely try it again at some point, but I dumped or nearly dumped each time I tried it and it was miserable. Most everything else as long as I eat slow and with Condiments is fine.

How long ago as your surgery and what did you have done? (Sleeve, RNY ??)

I'm planning to give eggs one more shot in maybe six months (one year after surgery). If they don't work out, we're done for good.

Kale has been a no go from the very beginning...it gives me violent gag reflexes and makes me hungrier than before. The hell with that as a salad resource...I'll be sticking with mesclun. Steaks and Pasta (in reasonable quantities) have worked since about the 4 month point, which is interesting because that's what people most frequently say they can't do (and that's probably a good thing). Anything with heavy cream gives me a much faster food coma than before, and anything sweet has pretty much the same effect, regardless of calorie count, though I haven't experienced actual problems with anything.

From the beginning, I could only tolerate really really really soft scrambled eggs. So soft, they were almost runny and I added a lot of butter and cheese.

I can now tolerate quiche and fritattas, I can eat a soft boiled egg but can only tolerate about half the white. Same with fried eggs.

The harder cooked the egg, the less I can eat, unless I add a lot of mayo or sauce.

I can't do bread. I get a stuck feeling and it's terrible.

I used to love hot dogs and liverwurst....no more. Dogs get stuck, and liverwurst just tastes nasty now. I have no clue why, I used to eat it all the time, since I was a kid. I'll give it another try again now that I am almost a year out from surgery.

I can't do raw veggies, they go right through me. I'm reduced to pretty much mushy cooked vegetables and/or veggies, in Soups.

eggs, not loving too much anymore. I used to eat them all the time. Hard boiled are the easiest for me, now.

I'm so glad I can do cottage cheese, or I would be screwed! lol

You were sleeved two years ago? Make an appointment now!

Ask if you should try anything while you wait.

I suspect acid, so start with a good ppi or switch if yours stopped working. I used dgl licorice from the health food store to help. I lost my appetite and too much weight a few years post sleeve - but I recovered. Don't linger, get healthy.

No steak or chicken breast has worked for me. Kale is apparently a no go also.

Pasta has also never stayed with me. Says the Italian girl.... Spaghetti squash is substituted.

Fish seems to be my friend

Lately.... Better than beef (target) seems to fill in for some items and my band has ok'd it....

I learn and just go on. food just doesn't have that ugly hard grasp on me after all these years. Thankfully [emoji93]

Fried chicken [emoji55], I tried to eat a chicken wing, the flat piece and my body said this is a no go. I felt like something was literally sitting on my chest and in my throat, Iwanted to puke. I guess we live and we learn - trial and error, and this definitely was an error

anything fried for me- creates intestinal upheaval. High fat foods too, I still can't eat bacon.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
