Eating certain foods irritate new stomach?



Recommended Posts

So this maybe too much info but I'm in the purée stage I have stuck strictly to the diet to prevent irrational to my new stomach today I had a few bites of cottage cheese and mashed potatoes thinking I would be ok from this boy, was I wrong complete opposite! Diaherria almost immediately! Has anyone else had this? I'm thinking it maybe cause I'm introducing new foods?

Not sure about other people but I am a little over 2 months out and my new stomach doesn't tolerate potatoes in any form very well. I'm not sure why since I have heard that others are allowed mashed potatoes very early on but it doesn't sit right with me. I get a full feeling after a few bites and then it just refuses to stay down. Cottage cheese I do fine with but I know that you can become lactose intolerant after sleeve so maybe that's a possibility? How are you doing with other dairy products?

My stomach doesn't like eggs in any form. Before surgery I loved eggs and drank coffee all the time, but not any more. I haven't tried potatoes. I'm too scared to try new foods.

I am so NOT allowed potatoes yet and I don't even recall seeing it in my next stage when I'm 6-8 weeks post op. Only 2 1/2 weeks post op now. I've eaten the ricotta bake just fine, tonight it didn't sit well, but then again, I think I ate too fast. Didn't get sick, but didn't move around much for a 1/2 hour until I felt it settled.

I was very very sensitive for the first month or so, and I am still sometimes dealing with issues. Even today, 7 weeks out, I had a light coconut milk chia seed pudding that I made (very healthy) and it just didn't sit right. I felt seedy and like I had drank a litre of thick cream! It was too rich. I have even had chicken go 'straight through me' so it's just a hit and miss issue at the start for me!

Nothing has irritated my stomach so far but my diet is fairly simple. Certain foods my brain tells me is not a good idea like eggs. I love eggs but since surgery if I even think about eating them I get quezzy. If I ate them im sure I'd be ok. It's just the food i eat has to be appealing.

Everyone is different I suppose. I did well with mashed potatoes (which was allowed during soft foods stage) I also love and do well with eggs. Great protein!

The one time i tried eggs or cottage cheese, i was hugging the toilet for what seemed like hours. I haven't dared try cottage cheese again but i did try a bite of egg and it was okay. Im staying clear of dairy, it hasn't been kind to me.

I have to say silky tofu and hummus are new foods for me this week and im loving it.

Good luck

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
