I should add the further out I get hot liquids over cold... do room temp for a lot normally cold fluids.

At first I could only do room temp, but now I love ice cold water and warm premier protein in decaf coffee!

Whole chicken breast or canned tuna are both too dense for me. Unfortunately cheddar cheese sits "hard".

I'm two years out. At the beginning I had issues with oatmeal and eggs. Now my no-go foods are meatballs, peanuts in the shell, and mixed greens. I ate a salad with mixed greens and ended up hiding in a restaurant bathroom hoping to die until my SO sent a manager in to check on me.

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 :) So you could be totally fine. I'm good with iceberg and romaine lettuce. It's just the fibrous ones that cause me trouble.

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!
