At most of my weight loss clinic check ins, they ask me if I’ve found any foods that I cannot tolerate. There generally hasn’t been anything other than sugar, and I have never tested eating sugar, I just know that I can’t eat it without getting sick.
My answer to that question is that there are things I’ve had trouble with, but I can usually pin the trouble down on something I did (ate too fast, ate too much, didn’t chew enough) that caused the problem rather than the actual food itself.
There was one item that I was unsure of though. Quinoa. I freakin’ love me some quinoa, but most if not all of the few times I’ve had it in the 1.5 years since the surgery have resulted in nausea and problems with my redesigned stomach. I still wasn’t sure if it was the food or something I did.
Tonight we had quinoa. I only had a couple of little fork-fulls. It didn’t go well. Damn it. I think I officially have one food on the do-not-eat list. There is one food that I think I am unable to tolerate. Quinoa. Shit.
Oh well. We live and we learn and we move on to the next challenge.

One factor when choosing my surgery was watching my friend’s mother, post bypass, eat a donut. She got sock and had to lay down for awhile. After she finally threw up, she came back and ate another damn donut!! Iwas afraid I’d be just as stupid.
Def keep avoiding sugar… the stories from people are painful. Quinoa has always been a severe roto rooter for me and I quickly gave up on eating it.

Do you ever find your tastebuds wanting to eat even though you know you’re full?

Yes I do, all the time. Usually I can stop myself, but sometimes I find myself eating until my stomach rebels and I feel pretty sick. Thankfully that doesn’t happen often though.

I’m sitting here with heartburn but tastebuds want food!
I used to be good at figuring out the base of the craving, like salt, then having an iota of just the ingredient to get the flavor. I can’t figure out this one.

Aaand… I ate my breakfast from 10am to 2pm (post surgery limits caused me stop caring if my food goes cold) but I never felt full and the heartburn hit around 5pm.

I get hunger pains about three hours after I eat. Usually. Sometimes I’m fine for 4-5 hours, sometimes I’m in a lot of pain after an hour. It’s like the bariatric surgery lottery: you never know what to expect.
And I’m with you on the cold food thing. Everything I eat goes cold before I finish it.
