What Food Is Your Kryptonite?

[Wendyfm 494]

I’m five years out and still have to be careful of dense meat. chicken breast pork or steak. I don’t get the foam is anymore, but if I eat in a hurry and don’t chew enough these sit in my stomach like a lead weight.

Krispy Kreme donuts. I can’t even smell them or I want 12. 😑

Good one! Me too... other donuts don’t tempt me at all but Krispy Kreme sure do!

Anything with cheese on it or that has chocolate in it.

Does that mean you cant have cheese?

[TheJuice202 63]

Well I can have low-fat cheese but I don't recall ever trying it before.

I used to like putting a crazy amount of cheese in and on stuff....can't do that anymore.

Any meats make me sick, beef, pork, turkey. I was a big time meat eater before surgery, now the smell and the thought of eating any meats makes me want to hurl.

Yeah, crazy amount might make me dump as well. I have been counting calories so I havnt had crazy amounts yet. But cheese (in moderation) has been my new chocolate. It's nice to be able to eat it in order to get Protein.

Have you tried to sous vide it? It changes the taste and makes it much easier to eat since it keeps all the juices in. A total game changer imho.

Haha! Be careful, “All magic comes with a price, dearly!” Bahaha!

Be “poo proactive!” Become a poo hunter. Part of a by-product of this surgery is that it can be a struggle for many of us to figure out our poo-hack so we have lovely and regular bms. Cheese is part of a group I love/hate that I call the “anti-bms.” Hehe

aha..i have yet to figure this part out of post-op life. Didnt know cheese could stop you up.

Ive been thinking about this thread for a while and thinking about what food triggers me to want to eat lots of it. (Sorry that it's not really what the original poster really meant by this phrase.) ..-and I finally came up with my real kryptonite. Although I love cheese, my real kryptonite is...duh duh duh...CARBS! I love carbs! I am addicted to carbs! Food like various breads and doughy treats are my absolute biggest trigger to overeating. In fact, I'm trying (a modified) Keto just to see if I can get some controll over them. Food addiction sucks!

Sugar. If I eat something with too much of it, or too much of something with it in it, my heart will race and I will feel pretty icky for a while. Sometimes I may feel nauseous and barf, other times I'll need to poop immediately.
