Surgery or not for picky eater???

I am wanting to know if there are any picky eaters that can help with what do I eat after surgery? Long term- Extremely picky eater and I am skeptical about surgery at this point due to that not having enough to eat or options that are really for me that I would like. No pizza, sandwhiches (due to bread), or pasta Ugh.
I like beef, turkey, chicken, ham, and much fruits. Only veggies I eat are potatoes and corn.  I eat no green veggies and don't see after 37 years this changing? 
I hope all this information helps. I am currently at a loss of what to do. My BMI 39.5 and 37 years old. Should I learn more about carb intake and get more educated on nutrition before I make the plunge of having the gastric sleeve procedure? or?
Any help especially from you picky eaters like me.
-Thanks    

I definitely was not a picky eater before my VSG, but I think I can help you a bit. You like a lot of high protein foods already and we need to get a lot of protein every day. There are some great recipes out there. I would suggest that your talk to the nutritionist at your surgeon's office for the most reliable answers to your concerns. You can also learn a lot from this website before making your decision. Good luck on your journey.

Hi! With all the things you listed that you like, I don't see food being a problem. I eat all of those things. I don't eat alot of veggies. Im picky about that, and some of them I am a little afraid they won't go down well (like broccoli, spinach, lettuce, & corn). I get everything in just fine though.
Your tastes will change after surgery anyway and what you may not like now, you may like afterwards or vice versa.
That being said, you should arm yourself with as much nutritional information as possible. Alot of hospitals offer free classes. Check out books at the library, research on the internet.
That way you will be more prepared for what you can have. There are several people on OH that have blogs with recipes on it. I find that very encouraging, seeing that there is food I can eat that I like. Some of them are listed in the "recipes" forum.
Good luck in your decision!

One thing you may want to try is veggies cooked a different way....for instance, I hate asparagus, but found out if I bake them with olive oil and seasoning, I love them...so maybe try some new veggies done a different way and you may surprise yourself!

You may want to look at the 4 main surgeries, and evaluate the food restrictions with each. They are all different regarding eating, estimated weight loss, and maintenance.

One reason I chose the DS was because it allowed the most varied choices for eating. I eat a lot of meat, and do have to get a certain amount of protein first (like 100gr / day). I limit carbs (white bread/flour, rice, tortillas) by choice, because it can slow the weight loss, and causes gas for many folks after WLS.

Me me me.  I am a very very picky eater...and I chose to have RNY.. i was a little nervous at first, but being 4 months out and i am adapting.  the only bad thing that i can say is that i tend to eat a food out, until i cant stand it anymore...and then i wont be able to eat that particular food for a few months.  other than that, life has been good : )

Potatoes are not a veggie, they are a starch like bread. And corn is not much better. All I can say is you had better be very vigilant about taking your vitamins or you will be in a peck of trouble as you get further out! You are pretty much a carb junkie, right? Most of us are, that is why the weight problems that brought us to this point. You have to learn to eat very low carb to make this work after surgery or you will probably be one of those facing regain problems as time goes by.

I too am a very picky eater (better then others in my family that only eat less than 10 different foods),

My NUT and I spent a whole session on this.  I provided her with a list of foods I do not (and will not) eat.  Texture really bothers me - to the point of gagging.

Then next visit we went over my favorites and came up with meals, recipes and alternatives I believe will work for me.

I have chosen to be banded and feel with my habits and weight goals it was my best choice.

I recommend meeting with a NUT.
