Poll: About food tolerance
2. If yes, what foods make you sick?
3. If yes, what symptoms have you experienced when you got sick from food?

1. Yes. Many.
2. In the beginning, damn near everything. Now um...steak and anything with too much sugar. I don't do well with a lot of oil in my food either.
3. Now I get a reaction from sugar, too many carbs in general, I still don't digest fat well but all that does is create lovely bathroom experiences. I am a dumper and I have early signs of reactive hypoglycemia.
2. Chinese. Sweet potatoes give me awful gas (the painful kind you can't pass), and I can't do soy. Awful intestinal cramps.
3. I kinda answered in #2 but mine is nausea mostly.
Sometimes I will question whether RH is headed my way but I'm pretty lucky in that dept.
Be happy.

Highest weight: 269. Surgery weight: 233. Goal weight: 144, and then we'll see..
2. early on..chicken breast, any form of breads/flat breads, etc, sometimes yogurt (moody pouch)
3. terrible pouch pain, system back up (feels that way anyways), and loud intestinal growls that result in pain and/or bad bathroom experiences
Unfortunately for me...in a way, not much bothers my pouch or I have such a high tolerance I don't notice it. I HAVE to weigh/measure EVERYTHING because of the fact that I can eat almost everything. As for dumping? I haven't tested that theory yet and aren't planning to!
I often wondered if my pouch isn't or wasn't made small enough, but after reading what all you veterans have to say I know differently... =)

It's not who you are that holds you back...
It's who you THINK your NOT!
highest weight = 315 pre-op weight = 290 current weight = 145
Overcooked meat is hard to get down. I eat almost everything rare (except poultry for obvious reasons). Even with ground beef/bison, I started grinding my own at home or buying it from the local farm so I feel better about it being fresh and safe.
The symptoms I get are the fetal-position-inducing nausea and cold sweats. Then I crash and fall asleep. It is a giant bummer, so I try to avoid it if at all possible.

1. yes, but only once (I think I have a pouch of steel)
2. Fried Fish....and it didn't make me "sick"...but I did dump on the oil (olive oil) that was used to pan fry it (waaaaay too much).
3. My reaction can best be summed up with this little diddy that my sister and I used to sing when we were kids.....*sings* when you feeeeel something....bubbling up inside (shout) DIARRHEA!
2. Potatoes, overcooked meat, high sugar/carbs, eggs
3. potatoes make me feel like something is stuck in the middle of my chest, very painful. overcooked meat same thing. sugars/carbs make me feel like passing out, sweaty, nauseous, heart palpitations, dizzy, shaky, stomach pains.
I have lately had episodes of severe stomach pain after eating some fatty stuff too :(
