Bypassers - Can you eat raw food without pain?

[Perissa]

RnY bypassers can you eat raw veg and salad foods without it affecting you?

I can eat pretty much what I want as long as I eat it slowly enough apart from anything raw. Its not my pouch that complains. About half to an hour to am hour after eating my guts are soooo painful. I used to like things like coleslaw, and spring onion with tuna mayo. I love raw veg and salads but since my RnY I can't eat any of it. I am in agony for hours afterwards.

I presume because this type of food is hard to digest and my guts simply can't deal with it.

Can you eat raw foods?

Yep. I have raw carrots with dips, and salads quite regularly. The only thing that bothers my tummy is chips!

Are you chewing them enough?

 

[Perissa]

Yep, I eat very slowly and chew thoroughly. I can even eat white fresh bread like this with no problems. I can eat cooked onions, veg etc but not raw.

no idea then sorry

I can eat raw veg & fruit just fine. I even eat the skin on apples & pears, no problem. I also have noticed I can fit in a large amount of salad if I am not careful. I still have issue with more than a few bites of white bread but that is really it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I can eat fruit by the bucket load with no problems. I had a quarter of a sandwich with coleslaw recently and was in pain for a good 6 hours!

Could it be the vinegar content?

Perissa Im not there yet, still on the mashed food! but I would think it is that u have a problem digesting it, strange how we're all so different! maybe try again in a month?

I've got my 6 month check up soon and will discuss it with my dietition and surgeon. I just wondered if others were the the same.

Do you always have mayo or some sort of dressing with your raw veg & salad? It could be the fat in the dressings if you do.
