I Have Accepted That My Tummy


o00

Recommended Posts

Doesn't like chicken no matter how it's prepared or how tiny my bites are or how many times I chew.

Maybe I will give it a rest for now and try again down the road. If you have had similar experience please tell me how long did it take to overcome this.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp. I don't care for tuna or any other type of canned fish or meat. I don't like mayo.

I can eat maybe an ounce of grilled fish at one meal. I can tolerate turkey patties in tiny portions.

You can get your Protein in through plant based means so long as you're careful. Try going vegetarian for a while until you're further out and your sleeve is feeling more tolerant.

My new tummy is not a fan of chicken as well... I've tried it twice. Both times I threw up. I'm somewhat upset about it and fish has been my savior... I'm going to try again at a later date .. Give it some time, maybe next time it'll be better. Who knows?! I'm hoping ..

I am finding Beans to be a good source of protien. I have made a few recipes with beans and they are delicious and easy to digest. I will pair the beans with cheese to get more Protein. I am just over 10 weeks and still have Protein Powder for lunch(mix with yogurt and flavorings) to keep my protein intake up.

A friend of mine is 5 years out from a bypass and still can't handle chicken.

It's weird. I have handled chicken right from the beginning but give me an egg and it is all over for me.

Who knows why! I just keep trying though.

I can sometimes tolerate chicken but it seems to depend on how it is prepared and honestly can depend from time to time. I can eat rotisserie chicken warm but cold, I cannot seem to tolerate. Having said that I used it to shred up and put it in chicken salad (which is cold) and that seems to be fine. Mostly it just has to be really moist - so if cold, must be mixed with something. If warm, it seems to be okay. I didn't tolerate it early on though so I agree if you give it a couple of weeks and try again you might be ok. @@dusky goddess - how far out are you?

My stomach could only accept chicken thighs. Not breasts. I don't know why. Perhaps the moistness ?

I just accept it... Chicken salad cut up very finely also works for me.

Shrimp just seemed too fiberous also unless they were the small moist type??

I think we all agree trial and error is what guides us along. I know I have to live by what my body accepts... That can be harder for those of us who are used to being in charge of what our stomach got.... Ha! The head set of accepting a new set of foods is a whole different post ????

Hi, it will be five weeks tomorrow.

Oh girl. Your just too early. You will likely be fine further out.

I can understand what you mean. Certain stuff is easy.....while other Proteins are not.

No problems here with chicken. I'm fortunate that I enjoy the pouches of tuna and salmon. Broiled fish is great.

My son and I were out all afternoon and he stated that he was starving. I'd only eaten earlier this morning. He wanted a burger. I ordered a small cheeseburger and ate the patty & pickles. Even though I took my time and chewed carefully.....it wasn't very pleasant. Ingestion and burping and an overall bad experience. I set my cellphone alarm for an hour to remind me to drink afterwards. I'll get 60oz more Water down after that meal today.

It's going to be a while before I fool around with a burger. I didn't enjoy that experience at all.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
