What's your comfort food?

It's nights like this where I get so frustrated about my eating issue. I made a very good homemade macaroni and cheese, half pasta, halt riced cauliflower, tons of cheese, butter and Creme fresh, Parmesan cheese all in the oven, my all house smells so good, instead I eat 1 Japanese potato, that's my dinner. ????????????????????

I eat a Japanese potato is very different then a potato that was my dinner. I'm 14 mo out and I still can't eat much. Pizza, pasta, rice bread makes me so full I feel like I explode if I eat it, so I don't. Meat, chicken, fish comes up after 5 min, sweets give me severe dumping. So I'm left with nuts, beans, zucchini, salad, avocado, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese. What a heck???? Sorry I'm venting

What has your surgeon or nutritionist said about that? That's a lot of food you can't tolerate, you poor thing.

The nutritionists is worry and told me to eat every hr. My surgeon is fine with it. He said that some people can't tolerate foods. The thing is that now that I start work out I'm getting hungry but I can't eat much.

Have you tried going back to softer meats/lean Proteins? Meatballs, ground lean meat, chicken pulsed in the processor w/something to keep it moist? I'm only about 2 months out, and I'm able to get those down. I was always told if you can't keep those down, there may be issues with the opening into your pouch not being big enough (and a dilation may be needed).

It's just for now. There will be a time you'll be able to eat a small portion of your old favortes.

I had 3 restrictions, gastroenterologist under my surgeon directions, went in with endoscopy and balloon enlarge 3 times about every 3 months. The opening its very small, I try lots of different options. But thank you for the advices. Some days I get very frustrated some days I'm ok, after 14 months I got used it
