I got my surgery the sleeve on July 16th 2015, so I am 9 months out. Right after the surgery I started getting really sick, so the

Dr. had me come back in and get my gall bladder removed. The sickness is back. I can not eat any meat or Protein, no Beans or potatoes, rice and so on. he The only thing I can eat without getting sick is Cereal, Cookies, candy and every thing else I am not supposed to eat. I am not a sugar eater even before the surgery. I use the fair life milk on my raisin bran crunch. I can eat mixed nuts and salad I drink lots of Water, but I need to know is there any one else out there that is having a hard time eating regular food. My weight is fluxuating between 2-4 pounds I still need to loose another 20 pounds to meet my goal weight. I think because of what I am eating I can not loose any more. I am waiting on a call from my Dr. as I am tired of being sick and want to eat my low carbs. I need help! :unsure:

I don't know if you and I have comparable issues, but I am 2.5 years out from surgery and while I can generally tolerate crackers and Cereal, a lot of Protein oriented foods tend to make me sick. I notice that as long as I focus on eating really slowly, the healthy things I can eat without barfing. If it has oil, sugar or some types of dairy though, I can count on getting sick. I don't mind...it keeps me at my goal weight.

I also use Fair Life milk- great way to get in a lot of protein!

I would definitely get checked by your surgeon. I was told by my Nutritionist and have also read that we should not be eating Pasta, rice or bread. Also nuts can be an issue. Can you go back to eating Protein shakes or soft foods like your post op diet? Not only will you not lose another 20 pounds but you'll most likely put weight back on eating cereal, Cookies and candy. You'll also end up with health problems (i.e. diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, etc.). Hopefully it's nothing serious and you can get back on track.

Thank you so much for the responses I got, I am going to take a little from each post. I am going to eat much more slowly and go back to my post operation soft food diet. I am going to check with my surgeon and make sure every thing is ok as for the most part I am healthy. Once again I thank you.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
