The Big No-No's



Recommended Posts

O.k... I want to know what everyone can not eat now (healthier foods) that you were completely able to eat before being banded but can't now, even if on your approved foods list.

I had japaneese last night (mom's b-day) and I was sooooo nausious 3 bites into it that I opted for the salad because I was so sick from it- immediatly.

Broccoli hates me, Steak hates me (no matter how tender) deli meats, Sausage (whether veggie or turkey) and carrots.

Mushrooms use to be one of my favorite items and now I don't care for them. I couldn't even tolerate them until just recently. I can't think of anything else. GB

Broccoli and chicken (unless it is totally super moist and cut very tiny). And I just came to that conclusion last night, after I ate both of those and I ended up violently ill. :)

Oh, and scrambled eggs. :D

I have not found one thing I cannot eat. I have never felt sick at all.

I am not so sure this is a good thing.

I have a hard time with sausage, any pork, and roast. No matter how tender or if there's a sauce added. Other than that the only thing I have problems with is any meat that has been reheated.

I have a really hard time with apples, carrots, a lot of bread and any type of thin noodle. I miss apples the most....love love them :thumbup:. I don't get sick I just can't get them down.

JillyPoo, have you tried baked apples? My friend cores them but leaves them whole, then stuffs the hollow part with nuts, raisins, a little brown sugar (could use Splenda brown sugar) and bakes them on a cookie sheet until they are fork-soft. They are delicious! A wonderful fall treat.

I eat a lot more applesauce nowadays than I used to. There are so many good flavored, no-sugar applesauces out there now. My favorite is blueberry.:thumbup:

SpideyMom~ thank you so much for the yummy yummy apple treat. I think I will get some apples at the store today and try it. Applesauce goes down funny too... maybe because it is so thick? Thanks again!! Have a great day

I hope you can eat them, Jill! They are so good when you break them open and that brown sugar -- oh, and cinnamon -- concoction oozes out. YUM. :thumbup:

mmmm, my mouth is watering...I'm going to give those apples a try. I don't have a problem with the apple itself, just the peel. I have a difficult time with meat too, even deli meat, but I usually do okay with canned meat.

Any kind of cooked or canned fruit, or fruit puree is really hard for me, I can only eat a very little. Fresh fruit is hard too, but I do still eat it daily.

there's nothing I really *cant* eat but many things I have to make myself eat - like fruit and salads because they are healthy that are much harder to eat.

I never get nauseous from things though, just blocked.

I avoid things like reheated leftover meat too - we had a leg of pork the other night with guests, there was loads left but I threw it out becuase I knew I'd never get it down.

I make my baked apples with Oats... Oats brownsugar, Cinnemon, some vanil. extract, rasins and chopped walnuts and melted butter (or marg.) to keep the mix together... and then spoon full the melted remnents over the apples when their done.

I found over the summer, melon was really hard to keep down (honeydew) Corn doesn't sit so hot with me either.

The band has changed several things for me. Some things do taste different, things that do not appeal to me will not go down and meats have to be moist. I also have a strange new thing with sense of smell. Some seasons that I injest linger within my nasal cavaties...until mid-morning the next day. I still eat too fast and pay a severe penalty for that! But, it's all working the right way.

I miss rice the most- white or brown, I can't eat rice at all! I love apples, but as mentioned above by someone else, I can still eat apples, but only if I peel them!

Even though my dr said I can eat corn tortillas, they don't always work out so well either. In order to eat them it requires way too much chewing, so I opt not to have them anymore.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
