Question about tolerating foods

[Guest guest]

I have a general question for any post-op patients who don't mind sharing. I

notice in reading post-op stories and posts, that there seems to be a wide

variance in what is and is not tolerated after surgery. I am ok with that, and

am trying not to have any strict expectations, but I do notice this recurring

statement that some people " don't do well " with certain foods.

When you say you " don't do well " with a food (pasta, beef, bread, chicken,

whatever your specific food intolerance is)... what do you mean by " don't do

well " ? I'd like to know more specifically how you react to your intolerances...

are we talking about nausea, vomiting, cramping, general discomfort, diarrhea,

full-blown dumping? What foods do you not tolerate well, and what symptoms do

those specific foods cause for you?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share. And if you're having no food

intolerances at all, I'd love to hear that too.

I have no food intolerances. I eat anything and everything. I do not drink

soda or coffee, since that is " forbidden " , but anything else does just fine!

Best,

Amy.

That's me ....no food intolerances AT ALL. I can eat everything I ate

pre-surgery.

Great question!

for me " not do well " means when I swallow a bite it feels like a rock in my

stomach. It sits there and hurts. I feel like I can't " burp around " it. Then

i feel nauseous. If it's bad enough I will feel myself turn white and then I'll

puke. I hate that when that happens!

The other " not do well " is some foods create an incredible amount of gas.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! LOL
