WHAT CAN YOU EAT???

Is there anyone out there that can eat anything they want without getting sick? I am just about able to eat anything...and it is driving me crazy...cause I am at this stupid plataeu!! No matter what I eat, I am staying the same!!! Help...cant' take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh.... Jeannie

Here is my list of CAN NOT EAT foods . Steak Over cooked meats of any kind . No sugar .. I get the dumpsies . No bread.. It swells in me tummy and I ache for days .. Nothing re-heated .. I do not care what it is .. My pouchy knows and I end up .. at the toilet . Nothing really high in fat content .. I end up at the I watch my carbs and calories pretty much . I am trying to up them so the weight loss starts to maintain.. but it seems nothing is working so I am letting it run its course .. Huggles . Natalie

I have problems with re-heated food also but I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I read your post...lol I ate a chicken tender one night and it went down SO good. I saved the 2nd one to have the next day...I nuked it to warm it up and wala....I felt like I was going to get sick..it sat like a rock!!! Didn't even think it was the re-heating thing. lolol Over cooked meats a no no for me also. I can eat small amounts of sweets which I pray I can wean myself off of again... I can eat small amounts of a lot of things. Hamburger meat goes down good but steak I can't tolerate. Some chicken is ok as long as it is very moist. I just recently have been able to eat salad...I am SO happy. I usually drink Vanilla Isopure but all I have is the choc. left. For some reason it makes me dump!!! It makes me EXTREMELY tired and a touch queezy. I can not do low-carb ice cream with splenda but I can do a few bites of regular kind. Welll that is all I can think of at the moment!

I can't drink milk because I am now lactose intolerant though that doesn't seem to affect me while eating other dairy, just drinking milk or eating ice cream. Mayo seems to be a problem *shrug* ground beef just never seems to go down right and neither does pot roast... more a consistency thing. Lots of bread or fries swell and make me uncomfy or have to go throw it up. If I eat a lot of sweets I dump but I can have some and be okay. Most everything else is okay for me but I try to limit the amount that I eat of things that I know are no no's.

Eggs. It doesn't matter how I fix them, they make me sick. I avoid overcooked meats but I can eat any meat I want. Bread and pasta swells and makes me feel bad so I avoid that. I can eat some sugary stuff, but it's a risk because I dump some of the time.... I wish I dumped all of the time.

I can eat anything too!! I hate it and it is driving me crazy. Nothing makes me sick. ITs just all left up to me and my willpower, which isnt alwasy at its best. I feel you sweetie. I really wish some foods made me sick, so I would stay away from them. Will power just isnt working for me, I dont have good, if any. I hope you get off that plateau hun- Melissa

Dear Jeannie, I can eat almost anything too and like you, it really bothers me. One thing I can't really eat is fries, they just always sit like a rock and I feel awful afterwards, so I avoid them. Can I ask you, are you eating a lot at night? I found I was "snacking" all evening long and it wreaked havoc with my weight loss. I have been good for the last two nights and the weight loss has picked back up again. Just a thought. I knew the "honeymoon" period would be over one day, I just hoped it wouldn't be quite this soon!! But no matter what, I will NEVER get back to being as big as I was before the surgery-even if I have to sew my mouth shut!!! LOL! Hang in there Jeannie and really examine WHAT you are eating, WHEN you are eating and HOW MUCH you are eating. Some minor adjustments may help things a whole bunch!! I'm here for you if you need to talk! Laura

Thanks guys!! I just feel like I can eat anything or as much as I want. I know every time I start to feel that way...I get the dumps or throwing up. But, go****hought this would help more than I am feeling it is helping. The first 70 pounds were easy. Now I am stuck at 200 and it ain't going anywhere!! this summer I will be able to get out more and exercise and all that good stuff. I love to walk. So soon, that will start happening. I do ok at night. Not too bad. But, something has got to give!! Thank! Jeannie

Hi There, well i cannot eat salad,pasta,bread, just sits like a roc****ill i throw up. But all fruits except oranges are fine as long as i take off the skin, i can eat a whole banana or apple Meat mmmmm ! not to good with that all depends how my pouch is that day it has a mind of its,own most of the time,but all in all iam pretty good with most things and thank goodness i have never DUMPED i have felt horriblely uncomftable but no dumping.my surgeon said to give things a try your pouch will deciede if your gonna keep it or not, Boy how true is that. So i always try new stuff and am down to 140lbs so iam really happy with that only 5lbs till goal. But really this is the wildest journey i have ever been on.!! maggie

I know what you mean--I had an iron gut before surgery and I have one now after surgery. I do not think my surgeon made mine small enough. I still think that I can eat too much. It is no were near the amount that I used to eat--but I can eat a normal small size portion. My friend, who had surgery a month after me can hardly eat a cup of something. And I am stuck on a three month plateau and nothing is coming off. I have lose 96 pounds and now everything has stopped. HELP!!! Sandra
