Are any food off limits?

Ok, I thought I knew everything by now. But over the weekend a freind and I were talking and she was grilling me. We came "what can you eat after surgery" and she was wondering what food I physically cannot eat after sugery. I played like I knew that answer. But I want to be sure I am right. You can eat bascially anything. Not  saying that you should eat anything. But this is unlike a lap band, right? I know that certain foods with that are just off limits with a lap band  because they cause problems. But can you eat bread/sandwich after sleeve surgery. Are there any foods that are off because they cause issues?

 Not as far as I know. There are foods you shouldn't eat in large amounts (gain weight) but as far as I know nothing you can't eat that you didn't eat before.

That is what  I thought. Thnaks for the response.

Everyone is different.  You really can eat anything but you will find that you don't tolerate certain items.  If I eat something higher in sugar I don't feel well so I stay away from it.  I do well with steak but not hamburger.  I eat limited bread because when I eat it I fill up too fast and don't have room for protein.  Rice goes down like a rock so I stay away completely and just eat sashimi instead of sushi.  I also found that my tastes changed after surgery and I don't like some of the things I used to like.  Hope this helps - Theresa

Do you dump when you eat sugar? Thanks

In a way yes - it's not the same as people with the bi-pass.  It's not as bad.  I explain it the same as if you were to eat really healthy and clean for a month and then went out to fast food.  You feel ill and it has a tendency to "go right through you".    Hope this helps.  Theresa 

Aloha Disneylov-
No carbonation.
We were told no bread, rice, pasta for optimum weight loss, and for the "sticky ball" properties- I've adhered to this for 5 months, had very good weight loss.
No alchohol or caffeine for 12 months ( I've seen other people's rules vary from this).
Early on- you'll need to experiment with spicy things, dense foods, etc. I can do steak but not ground beef. I can have some spicy stuff but not too spicy.
Sabotage foods- if you drink nothing but milkshakes ( high fat high sugar high calorie that goes through your sleeve easily)  you will gain weight, not lose it.
You should be able to eat anything else, in small amounts- but even at 5 months, I don't eat anything away from home that I haven't tried yet- made the mistake with chili and a dense fish that both ended up being puked in a dumpster. Ick.

I will keep all that in mind. Thnaks for your answer

You got it right we "CAN" eat everything, lol.  But like the lapband there are foods that cause problems BUT they are different with each person.

I cannot do over 1/4 cup of potatoes...any style.  If/when I do it's like a volcano erupting.  Not pretty at all.  I can have "some" dessert/sugar/sweets/etc.  When I decided to have "some more" I get nauseous and dizzy...again NOT pretty.
