Does anyone else have this trouble?

It's been nearly 7 mths since I had my sleeve done, and I am going great with the weight loss. So no complaints there.
I'm still not complaining, as even with my problem, I'd do it again. I do however have an issue that I'm hoping others may be able to shed some light on. I've talked to the Dr/Nurse/Dietican about this, but with no real luck. I've tried all their suggestions. Obviously we all know that our taste buds are likely to change, but I am having trouble with 99% of foods making me feel sick, and 8 out of 10 times I will vomit the food back up. I eat slowly and chew my food well.
The great thing is that I can't stand chocolate anymore or most sweet things (YAH!!!), fried foods are yucky. I can't handle spicy foods (which is very sad, as I did like my chilli hot). Worst of all, is that a cup of tea, doesn't taste like a cup of tea. That has been my biggest sadness about this process. I've got Pommie blood, and the Poms luv their tea...lol.
I can handle fruit youghurts, poached or boiled eggs are kind of okay (need my protein). I'm taking my vitamins still, including Vit D (as I am laking in that) and Hair, Skin & Nails tablets as still losing hair. I know, not enough protein still! Even with the shakes. Eating more chicken these days, but craving salt. I think I need to go back to a diary and maybe write down the foods that affect me more.
Can anyone help?

I didn't keep many things down the first 2 months, but that has improved. I will say that many of the foods I previously enjoyed just don't do it for me anymore. I'm always disappointed after I finish a meal. I tend to eat smaller more frequent meals throughout the day and need to drink at least one protein shake to get even close to 60-80g daily. I hope you can find a solution. After 7 months I would think your stomach can handle most foods again. Good luck!0

Hmmm...maybe mix up when you take your vitamins? I've heard some feeling more nauseous throughout the day when taking vitamins in the morning. I guess I would try to log what you eat and the after affects and go from there. Eating whatever protein you can tolerate, as often as possible is going to make a big difference, with regard to getting in your protein needs. Can you do cheese? Cottage cheese? Peanut butter? Fish/shrimp/shellfish?
I'm almost 8 months post-op from my RNY Gastric Bypass surgery and there are things I definitely cannot tolerate, like eggs most ways, chicken salad (you know - with mayo) - but I love and can tolerate REALLY WELL chicken in any other form. Greasy meats, like fatty sausage or fatty hot dogs, make me nauseous, but thankfully I haven't ever thrown up...just felt icky.
Good luck!0 -
Chris - I would definitely keep a food diary and add in how you felt and any adverse reactions you have to foods and drinks. I would also maybe give things a second chance after a while. I found that my tastes changed several times over the course of the first year. Best wishes and hope that helps.0
