I'm 5 year out from RNY and I used to love all kinds of seafood, but now I can't eat any kind, no matter how it's fixed without it coming back up. So I don't even try anymore. I also can't eat a scrambled egg but can if it's hard boiled or fried. It's got something to do with the texture I guess. Like drinking sodas I know I can no longer have them.

I'm almost 5 months out from a sleeve. The only food I haven't been able to eat was fried rice. I have no idea why. I have eaten regular types of rice and it was fine but twice I tried some fried rice 2-3 bites and it came up. :,( no more Chinese food for me.0
-
Almost 4 months out from Sleeve and I cannot tolorate meatballs that contain too much breadcrumbs. Have eaten small amouts of bread and rice with no issue but certain meatballs leave me real sick.0
-
Any type of doughy bread of course. Some types (but not all) of flour tortillas, but even those I can handle, can't be a medium or large size, small ones only. Guerrero is the only brand I really trust.
I can't seem to handle spicy food as much as I could before. They still taste great, but the stomach complains. (This could just be an age thing, not that I want to admit that.)
Otherwise all I've had problems with involve moisture levels of the food. The only thing even close to making me lose it was seriously over dry roast pork.
Edit to add - 8 months out from my sleeve.0 -
I'm four and half years out from RNY -- the only thing I cannot tolerate is rice. I can eat very small portions of fried rice or white, on occassion without problem, HOWEVER, if it is whole grain or brown I cannot. CAN. NOT. It is just too dense I think.
Oh, and pears. Can't do pears. Weird, I know.0 -
I prefer COLD meat to eating meat hot. It is a chewing issue that I can't get a handle on. Rare beef used to be a favorite, but not any more. Pork always makes me I'll, except for Bacon. ????❤️❤️❤️
I still do not eat rice, pasta, or soft squishy bread. I make my own bread and crackers, full if protein for crunch in my life. Chinese veggies like bok chop and celery and corn do not make me smile either
CHOCOLATE, NO PROBLEM @€¥%#!!0 -
I can't handle pork! I don't know what it is about pork but I just can not handle it! I also have a hard time with fruits that have any sort of skin or membrane. I seriously miss eating oranges!
I have had very small bites of rice, pasta and bread and did not have a problem but I try to stay away as much as possible so I don't get back in the habit of eating them!!! Spaghetti with spaghetti squash is my new friend and is surprisingly yummy!!0 -
I'm 6 months out from sleeve surgery and I can't tolerate rice. It comes up every time. In a way I'm glad because it always was a trigger food. Now I've learned to stay away from it.0

15 months out (rny) and I can eat anything. Nothing comes up. Never vomited EVER and I think the only thing that I ever had an issue with was the time I cheated and tried a sip of soda with a meal. That didn't work well and I realized why they say no soft drinks. But all in all, I can eat anything. Had a little rapid heart beat with apple pie, but it is kind of scary how I can eat anything I want.0

Thanks for everybody's responses

I'm 3 months out and haven't found anything that doesn't agree as long as I eat slowly and don't over eat.0
-
Ice cream! But I guess that's not really a bad thing!0
-
I am almost 4 months out and so far I haven't come across anything that didn't agree with me. I am making pretty safe food choices though, I haven't gone near any carbs or sugar or anything outside of the guidelines my surgeon gave me. I am not in a hurry to experiment!0
-
Three months out from the sleeve and there is nothing that I consider "off limits". As long as I stick to eating slowly and tiny portions I can eat what I choose. I've tried rice, beef, fruit skins, bread and raw veggies. All are fine in small quantities.0
-
Very interesting everyone, it will be interesting to see what I will no longer be able to eat (if anything).
I am wondering once you realize you can no longer eat a food you had eaten your whole life is it something you just shrug off or do you ever "miss" it?
Also I am wondering on the flip side, has anyone ever started LIKING a food they always disliked before??? The reason I ask is I have NEVER been able to eat tomatoes, I like pretty much like all veggies, except tomatoes and I really wish I DID like them as they are such a healthy food. I can't even imagine liking them!
Could it happen?0 -
There weren't many foods I didn't like before, so I haven't experienced liking something that I didn't like... but one thing I noticed is that I don't care for sweet things any more, and I LOVED sweets. I have protein drinks and bars, but they just seem overly sweet to me now. I have to choose flavors and brands that don't taste too sweet for me. I never EVER thought I would lose my taste for sweets! Who knows though, in a year I could like them again!0

I am lucky enough to be in Orlando this week. (60+ degrees instead of Minnesota way way below zero. ). I am 3 years out, and with a visit to a theme park today, found myself dehydrated and hungry. We grabbed a double cheeseburger for lunch. I cut off 1/5 of the burger, ate tw bites and felt ok. First burger in three years with bun. Two more small bites and sick. Eh!,, did go away after 30 min but obviously still not ready for squishy bun, greasy burgers and lettuce. Camelback to resort, took off shoes, found blister! Fit bit says 18,000 steps Going to take a nap and push water. I really think dehydration the major issue.
On the bright side candy and sweet shops no longer a temptation.0 -
I'm 21 months out and I can and do eat anything/everything.0

I'm 8 months out (RNY) and I can eat anything. I don't have issues with anything including rice, pasta, or bread. I eat very little of these however. Although I do eat whole wheat pasta when I'm craving some spaghetti Pretty thankful on being able to eat rice because sushi is my favorite food! 0
-
I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to eat sushi! Haven't tried yet, but I am going to have to at some point soon!0
-
Does anyone do well with wheat pita pockets?0
-
I am 6 months out RNY and can do a few bites of pita, but not too much. Pita crackers go better for some reason. I really dont use the pita, tortilla, bread etc. as the "holder" of my food any more, but as a garnish. Mostly fajita filling and maybe a chip or two with it. Quite a change from "before."0

Good things to know!!! I am pre-surgery so while I am not going to 'go crazy' and binge on sweets and pasta and rice, I will however enjoy it on occasion while I still can before surgery. I LOVE sushi so that is something I definitely will be eating but in moderation. I also love sweets but am finding already that I'm craving them a lot less and get sick if I eat even a normal amount of sweets. So its a good thing that I am getting used to the no-carb no-starch no-grain no-sugar diet now but I will thoroughly enjoy the couple of bites I do here and there before surgery Enjoy it while I can.
Thank you all for sharing!0 -
I'm 18 months post RNY. I still can't eat pasta, rice, bread, ice cream and fried foods. I love Chinese food, but I can't eat it - at all!! Unfortunately, I can eat chocolate :noway: !0

Sushi (2-3) pieces is the quantity of rice I am able to eat. That and a couple of extra shrimp makes a meal0 -
At six months since surgery r n y I have no problem with sliced lite whole wheat bread but can't do English muffins. Oranges are a huge no felt horrible for hours after two small bites. Haven't tried pork but it was never a favorite. Beef is still a couple of weeks away on my plan. Don't really miss it though. Warm or hot fluids a 're better than even room temp and cold is really bad. Yeah herbal tea and coffee!0

My husband had his sleeve done on January 7th, and he kind of skipped over the full liquid diet, and went right to the soft foods. I hope it will be alright, he's brought some things back up, but as long as he chews it good, he can eat most things. Eggs were not good, or cake.0

I'm sorry, but three weeks after surgery, why is he eating cake? And why is he not followingthe doctor's plan to the letter? Cake is not on anyone's plan.0 -
i cant vomit after the surgery i have tried after i ate to much and had the worst chest pain. i'M 5 years post RNY. And i must say i ate healty food but didnt crave it like i do now, when i want fast food i try the get the healthiest i can and only eat a small piece because i know i will have dumping just after or the next morning. I once had dumping so bad that im now careful of what i eat.0

Holy cow! I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but your hubby needs to rethink that! The doctors put you on a liquid diet for a reason. There are long internal staple lines that food can get stuck in and open up! The sleeve has even longer ones than the RNY surgery! He's putting himself at serious risk of going right back in the hospital because he opened his stomach up to his chest cavity!
Plus, cake, after only three weeks! He seriously needs to question what he's eating. Trust me, I get it. Sugar tastes good, and is addictive. I've been there, done that. I still have problems with it triggering cravings. But he needs to really think about his choices. The surgery is a tool to help him change his lifestyle. If he goes back to eating the same foods he was pre-surgery then what does he really expect will happen. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, but 50% of weight loss surgery patients gain it all back within 5 years. The surgery will not keep it off permanently on its own. I know I sure didn't put in all the blood, sweat and tears to just go back to the way I was.
Two other notes. My kryptonite food is shrimp. My wife's is lactose. We were both fine with those before our respective surgeries.
And last note. If you encounter a food that you disagree with, if you eat to much, or don't chew properly and it gets stuck, check out papaya enzyme. It aids in digestion and helps break the stuff down. The few times I've gotten in trouble, I've chewed two tablets and it clears it up in about 10 or 15 minutes.0 -
Thank you so much for the tips and insight.
