Digestion issues-2 years post op

I had my surgery 2 years and 3 days ago. I healed well and was pretty successful. I have been within 5 pounds of my goal weight for 18 months. I never really had any issues with the surgery or foods.

Milk sometimes bothered me before surgery and sometimes still does, but other than that I had been fine. Lately though, I have realized that sometimes when I eat even just a few bites of certain foods, I get sick and it comes right back out. Chicken, dairy, and anything bread-like are the culprits in my digestion issues.

I have always been a fan of the "all things in moderation" viewpoint on weightloss. I don't want to never have my favorite foods, but I am fine to have them less frequently and in much smaller amounts. Tonight I had 2 chicken wings (the segments that you get at a bar) and instantly it came back up. Its not the grease, since it happened earlier in the week with chicken breast. Neither chicken was dry. I didn't have anything else with it or for hours before. It was literally a few bites in and I was done. It is all liquid that comes back out, so I don't think that my chewing is the problem.

Any ideas? My surgeon is a d-bag so I prefer not to deal with him. I will if I need to, but thought I would reach out to you all instead.

Have you had any issues with acid reflux over the last 2 years? Vomiting this late in the game could be a sign of a stricture.

I am almost 2 years and I don't have these issues.

Did these chicken wings have breading?

I eat in unbreaded wings all the time, from Wing Stop.

I don't eat bread or bread like items. I don'the eat carbs.

You can go to any GI not just your surgery Dr.

By the way, I eat the chicken wings from wing stop because they are fried and go down easy. Other than. That I don't eat chicken. It is too dry and a pain in the ass to digest. I stick to beef and pork cuts with fat.

I would go see a GI doc to rule out a physical cause. If that goes well, you may just need to take a break from those foods.
