I am just wondering if after surgery anyone has experienced issues with food that agreed with them before. I had surgery on the 9th of December the sleeve and since then I am having issues with yogurt and milk. I tried lactose free yoghurt this week and no issue. Also how do you get enough protein I am only eating 400 to 650 calories daily and usually get 40 to 50 grams, but not hungry to add more food. I cannot do protein shakes at this time as my stomach flips and flops. I need suggestions I have gone on Pinterest and printed off lots of protein recipes and will start trying this.
I am so sorry to hear all you have been through. Come on over to the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery Forum (RNY) and we can help and support you. Check out the daily eating thread for meal ideas. I also have a list on steps about getting back to the basics I will send you.
Hope to see you there

I'll try to keep this short, I was 350 when I got out of the nursing home I have been stuck in a bad at for two years. Before that I was under 180 for 10 years after RNY Bypass.
- I had malabsorbtion before and went from 350 to looking like a skeleton till I got my weight back up to 160-180. Due to briddle bones I shattered like Humpty Dumpty in a car accident.
- Horrible diet/food in Nursing home, couldn't eat half the food they feed me so I lived on Atkins Bars, and a high carb trail mix with granola and Chocolate peanuts so between laying in bed on my back and eating that stuff with my Dt. Coke I had walmart deliver non perishable snacks (no chips etc). Gained 170lbs so once I started PT I finally got to a point where I could stand just enough to move from wheel chair to bed/cammode so I got to come to home care in September.
- Since sept I have been eating like miss Piggy with deserts every night and I lost 25lbs some how currently I need to loose wt faster so that I can walk again. So... time to put away all the over-the-top home goodies I missed in the Hospital and have been over indulging in.
I think I am going to just do a 30 day Atkins type carb/sugar cleanse to start with, I grave sweets after every meal, any good recipe links to help keep it interesting? Sugar Alcohol makes me ravenously hungry so I look forward to some fruits after my 30 days.
I malabsorb protein, so I also have to get in at least 100 grams a day. I hate to say this, but I still have to have a protein shake every day. It's just really hard for me to get all that through food. I guess if I ate meat all the time I could, but I'd get tired of that really quickly.

For me, bread/wheat-based foods make me bloat and have killer gas. If I can minimize those things, gas/bloating etc improve immeasurably.
I seem to be able to eat sugar if I want to. However, I tend to eat sugar only where it seems essential to the food. For example, I am perfectly happy with equal and half and half in my coffee, and drinking Diet Pepsi, but if I am going to eat chocolate, I would always go for the full sugar variety.
I must say Equal (the blue stuff) is pretty good in iced tea, on fruit etc... but baking requires sugar.
My top recommendation at this point, is to do a bit of an "elimination diet"... that is how I discovered it was the wheat that was killing me (belly was bloated to twice its size). So for example - day 1 eat just proteins like cheese and meat... day 2 add veggies, day 3 add fruit, day 5 add rice etc etc etc...
A few years ago I was here asking for bloating advice and now my tummy is so happy.

I've never tried it, but after seeing your question I found this review on YouTube, and now I'm very interested in trying it myself:
I was STARVING the first 5 weeks I was on the liquid and pureed diet. As soon as I was able to progress to soft foods it was insta-full! So that was a very nice feeling for me. My taste in food has changed very little. Desserts still look good, but most sugar makes me immediately nauseous. That's a plus. Lol. I wish I liked zucchini and squash, but I still hate em.? Coffee gives my tummy an ache, and I think that's the only difference I notice. To be honest I haven't tried more than a bite or two of any particular carb, just because it takes all my effort to get in my protein and veggies I don't have time to waste room on carbs, so I haven't even bothered to include them in my diet. If I don't think about them I don't miss them. If I miss them I take one bite. I'm sorry, I think I rambled and didn't really answer ur question at all.
Has anyone ever heard of or tried the black bean pasta? It's supposed to be high in protein and low in carbs so I was curious to hear anyone's experiences.
Whoa that's a lot to deal with! Hope you are finally on the mend! I'm almost 4 months out and I still haven't hit 100 grams of protein.
I would suggest looking at what you can eat, and make gradual improvements.
Look at how much wAter you can drink now, and increAse byan ounce or two every day or so. Also, try different temps and flavourings. I'm all about room temp water post op. That was definitely not the case before.
what protein can you tolerate? I was very conservative when introducing new foods. I would try 1/2 to one ounce. And only once per day. Then I'd have liquids the other two. That way, if I did have a bad reaction, it wasn't that much food. And I didn't have to wonder if it was because I ate too much etc.
keep trying, you'll get there, just not over night.
