Anyone have any problems digesting lettuce. My dear goodness. Husband wanted to go to a Burger joint so I opted for a salad. Little did I know the lettuce was going to give me chest pains from hell.

I had chicken, avocado, egg, bacon and lettuce. Dear Lord I thought I was a goner.

I don’t get pain but I can’t really digest it. Whenever I eat it I end up throwing it up

How far out and how much did you eat? chicken avocado egg and bacon, and your sure it wasnt possibly you ate too much food that gave you the chest pain ? :P

I'm a year out and I know what I can't eat. Lettuce gave me a problem at 6 months been but thought I'd give it another go. I only had maybe 4 forks full and I had to stop. Took an antacid as well to help with the chest pains.

I usually have spinach because I can tolerate that but can't have iceberg lettuce.

Iceberg’s no good for you anyway :)

This has been helpful, I am not a huge lettuce fan, so really not that torn up, but good to know ahead that it might cause a problem. I guess it would be better to “experiment” at home, just in case

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
