Tolerable/Intolerable foods?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had my first fill yet, but my doctor put 1.5 cc in during surgery and with certain foods, I can definitely tell.

Any bread, french fries, and rice cause major pain. I try to avoid meats that tend to be dry when cooked like white chicken and pork, although I will try the chicken in small bites sometimes if it isn't obviously dry when I cut it. I absent mindedly plucked a piece of broccoli out of a plate of Chinese food and popped it into my mouth the other night and that was a mistake for sure. The top part went down fine, but the stalk had to come back up! My list is still growing and will continue to once I'm filled I'm sure.

I can eat whatever I want, but I've only had one tiny tiny fill so far and I can tell that its not working at all lol. I'm eating slightly smaller portions, but nothing really noticeable. Either something is wrong with my band (hopefully not), or its the fills that really make a difference in how much you can eat and how full you stay. I chew well and eat slower, I was being really really cautious at first, but once I noticed I have no restriction I eat the same foods I did pre-band pretty much, just less of it, although I'm pretty picky, all I really eat is chicken, Soup, cheese and crackers, and sometimes things like mac n cheese and spagettios, I don't think many people have problems with most of these foods.

Well, since the last fill.. NO eggs and no Jello. I really didn't eat either much, usually after a fill only during liquid/mushie stages, but this time... NEITHER! Thank goodness for chicken broth! I've eased up some and am back on regular food, but I feel like I did right after surgery. WOOHOO!! :thumbup:

I think alot of what you can and can't eat is relative to how MUCH you'd like to eat.

For instance, I can eat just 2 or 3 bites of rice, then I'm done eating - TOTALLY DONE!

I can eat several bites of mashed potatos, or, even several bites of a cheese enchilada.

chicken or Steak - maybe 4 bites.

Broiled Fish - 7 or 8 bites.

So, I guess I'm saying you can probably eat just about anything - it just depends how much you'd like to eat at that particular meal.

Once you over-do it - you'll know it!!

Good luck!

I seem to have the most trouble with doughy bread. Like sandwich bread or the bottom part of pizza under the toppings. I also have trouble with shrimp. Even if I chew the heck out of it. And I love shrimp. :thumbup:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
