Question:
Does anyone else...
try new foods just to try them and feel like "if I throw up, I throw up...big deal?" I do this and most times I don't throw up, but if I do, I really am not upset about it. I figure, how else am I going to know if i can eat it? — kittyluver77 (posted on May 16, 2007)

Absolutely!! On June 1st I will be a year and a half out but I still get
sick on chicken if it's not just "perfect". And I keep on trying
it, lol! I just don't eat it when I'm eating out anymore. For some reason
the throwing up just doesn't bother me either! Are we weird?? Or do we
just have the right attitude about the whole situation? I'm thinking the
latter!!! Best of luck to you!! (PS, now down to 138 from 297 and wishing
I could lose that 1 pound to hit -160!!! then 2 more pounds to reach my
personal goal of 135!!! so close!!!)

U R so cute!! Yep...I do. I try one to two new things a week (depending).
If I dump or it gives me the foamies, or whatever....it's a small price to
pay to expand my food realm. Luckily....I tolerate all foods (to date and
knock on wood) very well. Still haven't thrown up (knock on wood) and only
had two dumping episodes - apple juice and tomato soup - bad combo &
carnation instant breakfast w/1% milk (my fav, pre surgery) proved to be
too much for me after - live and learn...that's my motto! Good luck! Jammie

I am lucky because I have not had any problems with any type of food. I
stick to eating protein and only had a couple of incidents where I felt
sick and that is because I did not chew my meat well. I wanted to throw up
but I am to chicken cause I hate it when I vomit because it comes out of my
mouth and my nose (okay TMI) I have only dumped once and that was with
apple juice as well.

That is true. I purchase a cheese-steak for my partner yesterday and took
a small bite -- bread and all to see how it would taste -- it was okay;
however, I'm not ready to dive into one just yet. Maybe in the next 2-3
months.

I do it everyday! I am always trying new stuff to see what I can tolerate.
If I throw up, it doesn't hurt my feelings.

Well, I am envious. I am terrified of being 'sick' and so I take
everything very very slow. Fortunately, I suppose, my surgeon has me on
liquids for 6 weeks post op ... no soft foods even. Short of loose mashed
potatoes, I have not tried anything solid. I will be very cautious about
trying anything in the near future. I feel quite certain I will be sick a
time or two but I am doing everything to avoid it as I am a 'skeerty cat'!
Best of luck!

Yes! I try new things all the time. I'm 10 months out from RNY and I still
occasionally have a bout with dumping -- but not as often as I used to. I
don't think it's WHAT I eat anymore; rather, it's HOW I eat and HOW MUCH I
eat. The occasional dumping I experience keeeps me "honest" and
reminds me to not overdo it (not too much) and to chew very well those
things that need it.

Well, how else do we expand our food choices? In the last week alone I've
tried tomato's, sweet peppers, raw onions, roast beef, seafood salad,
homemade sugar free cake, mango, Orange, and a t-bone steak. And I feel
silly since I'm 2 years out and finally trying differant foods! The only
thing that ever made me (almost throw up) sick was a banana 4 weeks after
surgery. I dump and feel miserable sometimes, but it's usually on junk I
know I shouldn't eat. Haven't thrown up yet.. :) I wonder what sushi
tastes like? I've never tried it - even before surgery.... hmmm.

Go for it girl! The whole process is trial and error. I have been sick on
some things and retried them months later with no problem. However, there
are still a few things, like eggs, that make me wish death for a few hours.
Goodluck!!
