I am 5 weeks post RNY. Every time I try to eat even a tiny bite of meat (chewed for a full 30 seconds), it comes right back up! It also causes a gas disturbance in my upper GI area. I feel like I have to burp, but its stuck and I eventually end up burping (not vomiting) up what I just ate. This could happen after just one small bite of well chewed meat, so, i don't eat meat. This also happens with other food items. Except Carbs. Does this happen to anyone else? Any advice?

Salivation is a sign of your pouch being over stuffed not dumping. Dumping is from my understanding a painful and disgusting diareah that is pretty much uncontrollable.

1 tablespoon would probably be a smart choice.

Puréed.

Then chew for 60 seconds.

Then chew another 60 seconds.

Then swallow half of what's in mouth.

Then other half.

Then repeat until you have turned 1 tablespoon into 4-6 bites.

You'll be fine in time and you will learn to adjust.

If you are responding to me, I appreciate your knowledge, but that was not the case for me. I know how much I can eat and my pouch was not over stuffed after 2-3 bites and I also know how to chew.
