Reheated foods

Does anyone else have problems with reheated foods? Last week I ate a piece of juicy chicken and saved some for the next day. The left overs made me vomit. Then the same happened a few days later. Yesterday I cooked an awesome salmon. Saved some for lunch. Just ate it and now I'm so uncomfortable and vomiting again. Could it be that my pouch is rejecting left overs? Or maybe it's the microwave drying out the food?

Thanks!

I thought it was just me. Leftovers make me sick. Even cold things like chicken salad. Idk what that's about but it's weird.

Maybe it's a build up of bacteria being left in the fridge??

The high temp of the microwave kills any bacteria. Also my fridge temp is below bacteria growing temp.

I made taco meat tonight and will eat it again for lunch tomorrow to make sure it's not a moisture issue. If I get sick again I'm done with leftovers! My dogs are gonna love all the extra food!

Well, Bacteria can definitely grow in a refrigerator, even in restaurant quality coolers and more so than the level of heat something is reheated at is a length of time at certain heat that would kill any bacteria that may have settled. One other thing that can help is making sure its not still hot when you pit it in the fridge. Either way I was just trying to be helpful. I am super sensitive to re-heated food too, so I hope you are able to figure it out, or that your animals enjoy it!

same here, what works for dinner one night will not work for lunch the next day. I kind of blame it on the microwave in some situations, like meats. I have never been a real lover of leftovers, but not for any particular reason. And now leftovers don't like me.

The left overs are probably too dry. The same thing has happened to me with meatloaf.

I bought a bariatric cookbook. It says any microwaved leftovers would be too tough so it suggests keeping gravy or dressings on hand to eat with it to soften it up. I had some salmon that was tough the next day and was not working out but then ate it with some tartar sauce and went down fine.

I agree! I think it's a moisture problem. I was able to eat very moist left overs today. I added some Water and a damp paper towel in the microwave. It went down much better!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
