Post WLS...Which foods are not your friend...
I'm almost 11 months out from my DS. So far, I am okay with everything I've tried. I will say that pasta and rice do their carb job and fill me up quick, so I make sure I eat the protein on my plate first!
I had a SIP of my sister's fruity margarita a few months ago and I felt drunk as a skunk for about 5-10 minutes. Total lightweight. I have not really been a drinker for the last 15 years, so that's no biggee, but it was surprising.

Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea GONE!
I am a little over 6 mos post op with the sleeve and have no problems with any food in particular. With Some of the denser meats such as beef and some chicken I get full faster than wtih things like fish and shrimp but that is to be expected. I do not eat much bread or rice or pasta mostly because I do not like or miss them much anyway and would rather concentrate on protein. I eat fruit with no problems. I was never much of a veggie eater so do not each much of those post op either though I do like canned beets and eat those.
Whatever you do is it truthful, necessary and kind?

Broccoli is not my friend. I've tried it plain steamed and in a salad. Both times were bad. I've just decided to leave it alone. A pity, because it was on of my favorites, pre-op.

Just over a month post-op from my VSG. So far the only things that make me feel physically ill are bacon (even the tiniest morsels), and corn chips. The latter I think was a guilt trip. My 'princess' (yes, I named my sleeve) was quite unhappy with me.
I'm still experimenting with other healthy foods, and so far so good!

Ground beef/urkey -- good.
Pasta, in a very small amount --OK. But I've only tried it once.
Rice, in any amount -- bad.
Chicken, except in soup -- very bad. Probably my worst offender. I can even tolerate small peices of steak better.
Thin-sliced deli meats -- surprisingly bad.
Bread -- not great. I can do one slice, toasted, althugh I've only tried it twice, and probably won't again for a while, because I've gotten bloated.
