What food does your sleeve/pouch gripe about?
I should add the further out I get hot liquids over cold... do room temp for a lot normally cold fluids.

Whole chicken breast or canned tuna are both too dense for me. Unfortunately cheddar cheese sits "hard".
Are you VSG or RNY? I hope not to have this problem with greens, because someday I'd love them again! I did have a bit of lettuce last night (literally what stuck to my grilled shrimp because it was served on a bed of it). Seemed ok, but it was a very little!

I had RNY 3.45 yrs ago.
Hamburgers/cheeseburgers and my pouch are not friends! It sits like a lead balloon and hurts. Now I can eat ground beef in the form of chilli but not as a cheeseburger. Eggs are incredibly hit and miss. Some days they are fine, others again it sits like a brick and its painful. But I can eat eggs as a quiche or "Egg bites" and be fine. As some other posters said, cucumbers are a no go, and the same with baby carrots.
I drank milk like a fiend pre surgery and now I post surgery I am lactose intolerant. I can eat hard cheese but at a party recently they had some herb & garlic Boursin soft cheese and I had some and in a few hours I was in agony, it was like my gut and bowels were trying to pass a samurai sword. Good times LOL LOL
Now that is what my pouch does not like, for some reason my nose/taste buds can NOT tolerate cottage cheese. I ate it by the tub load pre surgery and now just to even look at it I get the dry heaves. Pre surgery I was a sugar addict, cookies, cake, candy all day every day, now I still like sweets (although my RNY does not!) I do tend to crave all things savoury and spicy now, and the salty the better. Total change in taste buds now post surgery. Its a wild ride this side of the surgical knife ha ha

Same here! I loved cottage cheese. In fact I considered it my savior during prep diet because I was allowed 1/2 cup per day and it was heaven. Now I can't stand the taste!

I still love cottage cheese (even more than pre-op)!
