Just curious... After your sleeve, what are foods you cannot tolerate now that you could before and vice versa? I've read a lot about people becoming lactose intolerant and I was just curious how many people have experienced that and/or other issues.

Thanks!

so far nothing.

at first when cleared for all foods I couldn't handle steak or venison, but now at 3 months tolerate them without a problem.

I'm a year and a half out and I can't eat the following things: mayo, potatoes, fish, pork, ice cream, sausage, most anything fried, onions, apples, chocolate

No intolerances here.

I am only 6 weeks out but before surgery i LOVED coffee. Now it causes me to feel nauseous. I pray it resolves because I really love it.

The only thing I struggle with is eggs. I was never a big fan of them before surgery, but they make me sick as a dog now, and have since I came out of surgery. They're quite good Protein, so it's a shame, but oh well.

My sister in law is 6 years post op RNY, and for the first 5 years, she couldn't have milk in any form. Threw up every time. The doctors all told her to just try it maybe twice a year and see what happens, because apparently, things that we couldn't tolerate early on, can change...

She can drink milk now. Lol. For the past year, it's been fine! All of the sudden. Interesting, eh?

Soda, pasta, deep-fried foods, even in small portions.

I couldn't tolerate lactose, artificial sweeteners or plain water for 4 months, but now I can. Too much alcohol, coffee or fried food gives me gastritis and I can't do carbonation at all.

Lactose.. I had a mild intolerance pre op..

Now 7months post op it's lactose, artificial sweeteners and red wine.. ( I think the problem with red wine is the preservatives in it).

No bread made with yeast and nothing carbonated for me. They don't make me throw up or anything but they make me super uncomfortable.

Eggs, sometimes okay, some of the time they give me the worst gas right in my stomach.

No intolerance here. I have an Iron sleeve.

No problem here. Another cast iron sleeve.

coffee bothered me sat first, i had always been a black coffee drinker, for awhile i was having cream with my coffee...cuts the acid. 8 mo. post op and my coffee consumption has gone down but i tolerate black coffee fine.

potatoes, rice, Pasta, grilled meats (too dry) add applesauce to get it down. Fried foods, mostly get sick when I eat out. Hidden fat in everything.

Got sick as a dog drinking premixed bottled margarita mix this weekend. I think it was a mixture of dumping syndrome and high blood sugar at the same time. I have been having more trouble with pre diabetes post surgery. (meaning i've had several bouts of high blood sugar feelings, more so now than pre surgery)

Some stuff I don't eat because the tummy responses are magnified with the sleeve. The biggest of these is deep fried food. Instead of greasy food causing a little indigestion, it makes me feel *really* crappy now. So, Maybe a bite, but mo more than that. I don't eat rice/pasta even in little bits because it feels like it just swells and swells in my stomach and I go from "I'm full" to "OMG I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO POP" a bit after having it.

To be clear, these are not things I'm craving or eat much of -- I pretty much don't have a problem being a "Just the Protein, thanks" person at meals. But for example, last night I was out with friends having Burmese food. I was eating some lamb curry -- chunks of lamb in sauce, very well cooked and easy to chew up -- and someone offered me some of the coconut rice. Everyone was raving about the rice, which smelled like a macaroon. I had a tiny bit -- less than a teaspoon -- but would not risk any more at all, because of my experience with rice swelling up. :-)

I also tend to not eat foods that are fibrous like celery and broccoli, because I visualize the fibers getting tangled up in my little sleeve and it makes me feel queasy. :-)
