what CANT you eat?

Well Philadelphians aren't usually allowed to say this out loud, but I don't know anyone at home *****ally likes Ginos or Pats!  LMAO- those are strictly for tourism IMO.  The best steaks are from the little neighborhood pizzerias.  I am a Temple Alum and my sis goes to Drexel- small world huh?  I have no yen for a greasy ol' steak, but real steak meat and cheese (on bread or not) is one of my fave foods...  I hate all things subway.  The only thing I enjoyed from there even pre op was a meatball sub, but the local ones here refuse to sell me the meatballs w/o bread (even though I offer to pay for the bread)...the wastefulness of making me buy bread that I am 100% gonna toss put me off them, lol. I read somewhere once that their tuna is worse than a big mac in terms of cals and fat...not sure if that is accurate, but I know its swimming in mayo, lol...

I am only 4 weeks out but I just discovered that I can not do mushrooms. Well at least the canned ones they put in your eggs at a coney island restaurant. I am guessing they were too rubbery or something and they had to come back up. :( I hope fresh mushrooms can be tolerated because they are my FAVORITE food....

I can eat every single thing I have ever tried. Rice, greasy foods, bread, pasta, it all goes down just fine.

I can't eat eggs by themselves.  It's OK if they are in something else.  I couldn't drink coffee until about a month ego, but now I make a chocolate soy latte every morning.  Keeps things moving if you get my drift.  I have no idea how I will do with things like sugar, flour, rice, potatos, pasta, ice cream or greasy foods.  I have not tried them yet.  At just over six months out I don't want to pu****  I will try them a little at a time sometime in the future.  I hope a hate them all, but I have a hunch that once they come back into my life, I will be able to tolerate them quite well, so I am in no hurry to try.

Any food that expands in the stomach - bread, rice, pasta, potatoes. Extrememly uncomfortable and just not worth it. I decided I wanted a pancake which I haven't had in over a year. Well I had 1/2 of one pancake and I thought I'd die from the pain. It blew up in my stomach and I was sure my stomach was going to explode. NO MORE PANCAKES. EVER.

Chili doesn't sit well either.

I sound a lot like you. I used to love rice and I just can't eat much of it or when I do I just get that bloated feeling and it dosen't satifsy my nutritional needs. Fries, heavy gravies, bread is just too much. It just gives me a feeling. Any fast food burger is absolutely disgusting to me. A bite of one made me ill once...and there was no "license to" in the equation. High sugar items I can tolerate in very small doses but too much and it just f's up everything! I also used to love me some hard pretzels but don't do anything like that now.

lets see.....  roast aardvark, skunk tartar, turnip danish, chocolate covered tacos ...none of these sit right with me. can only eat a bit or two.  d

and HERE is the smart-ass remark i've been waiting to see, you go diane!!!

yeah...had to scroll for awhile for that one...thanks D!!

Eggs - uggghhhh!
