I''d really like to know.

I've been pretty lucky. The only things that have been difficult for me to eat are chicken, shrimp, and regular bread. I still eat chicken and shrimp regularly, but they fill me up extremely fast and give me that overly full, gross feeling. Steak and tuna are actually way easier for me to eat. Bread just sits like a rock, so I don't like to eat it. Pizza is like that, too.

Fruits, veggies, and dairy seem to be fine for me.

I tolerate pretty much everything. Only time I have problems is when I eat too much, which I avoid like the plague.

But yeah, I'm lucky...Need to chew the hell out of everything, but it all goes down ok and have never experienced nausea since surgery.

I can tolerate most anything..Exception is running gel and gatorade. I can eat sugar in small amount but It makes me feel sluggish.

Only time I have thrown up is from the flu.

Love spicy and flavorful stuff.

Have to abridge what I said... refined sugar can be an issue for me. I can tolerate a couple of bites of a dessert or something naughty sweet (and really enjoy those couple of bites)....but if I try to eat a whole serving I'll feel like absolute poo.

I don't think it's true dumping syndrome cause I don't sweat or puke or need to lie down....I just feel kinda miserable for about 20 minutes...so I avoid it like hell. Maybe mild dumping?

But yeah...I do have to watch refined carbs and sugar. (which is probably for the best...as these things used to get me into trouble)

That is not an easy answer for me to provide. It depended on how far out I was from my surgery and what else I've eaten.

So for me, now that I'm fully healed, I can eat Chicken and pork no problem! Those are the two that I am guaranteed to have a satisfying and non-food-sickies feeling afterwards. If you are looking for a 100% promise those are the two. Everything else could make me feel sick depending on the context/situation around what I'm eating. How rich it is, how much i've already eaten, how many carbs, etc. It's all a balancing act with me.

Oh, and cereal. Apparently I can eat copious quantities of dry cereal (No milk because milk makes me sick now). lol! I'm not upset about this.

Got soup and salad at Chilis the other night...ate 1/2 the soup (Chicken Enchilada...ate mostly the chicken) and 1/4 of the salad...I felt like hell for an hour...NEVER AGAIN!

Tuna, black beans mashed with melted mozzarella, soups, all sit well. Eggs, cottage cheese, fish Halibut to be exact all sit super heavy and I can only eat about 1/2 oz at a time. I’m only 6 weeks post op so I haven’t really gotten into solid foods yet.

I just started soft food. Must say although i eat a small amount and chew chew i hope it gets better. I get full real quickly and feel awful!

Soft meats or cheese are best for me. Ground turkey with taco seasoning, some refried beans and a dab of sour cream is really good. I’m also eating a lot of chicken sausage (low calorie, high protein, interesting flavors). No carbs for me, no sweets, tiny portions (3oz) and a LOT of chewing.

Triscuits and Laughing cow cheese. I have to chew the crackers really well, but 3 crackers and 1 wedge and thats like a meal!

When was ur surgery kandy. Triscuits and laughing cow sounds great!!

Right now the shakes are pretty much the only thing I can eat that don’t make me at least a little sick. But I remember when the shakes made me sick, too, so hopefully the stuff that’s making me sick now won’t make me sick in 6 weeks.
