Why can I eat some things like I used to and some things I can barely nibble

[victoriaciminelli111 43]

why is it that certain foods I can take a couple bites of and feel extremely sick and full and other things like pizza I can still eat half of by myself?

I think you may have hit upon why you are experiencing a big stall.

Lol well I haven't eaten that way recently but I do know my from before how my stomach works.

[victoriaciminelli111 43]

I've been eating healthy but I still don't understand how my new stomach works.

[victoriaciminelli111 43]

But I do know that in the past two years since surgery I have eaten pizza and been able to eat it like I used to. But some foods like scrambled eggs or sausages or chicken if it's too dry I can only do a bite or two and I'm sick

In small crock pot cook 3-4 bonless skinless chicken breast. Coat throughly with McCormicks Garlic & Herbs Add cup or more of chicken broth. Cook on high until falling apart with a fork. Shred all the chicken with a fork.Moist & Tasty!

Thank you so much that sounds good. I can eat chicken as long as its not drum if it's dry I tend to have it get stuck going down and I have to gag it down.

I find carbs are slider foods - they break down so small they pass right through. Dense Protein, even chewed well seems to sit longer in my stomach.

If I eat Pasta I can eat a normal serving and be hungry not long after. Same thing with crackers or other things like that. f I eat a chicken breast, that's often all I can eat in a sitting.

It's so weird, everyone is SO different. I LOVE pizza and can't eat it. When we have pizza, I'll eat the topping off of one slice and then maybe 2 bites of the crust, and I am DONE. I have a lot of issue with carbs: No rice, no Pasta, almost no bread. I can eat crackers, and cheese and crackers has become almost a stand-by meal; I can eat 6 ritz crackers with two Bonne Bell cheeses sliced up on them (so each BB cheese is cut into 3 slices). popcorn? No problem, except for the quantity (it is SO easy to eat handful after handful while watching TV!). Can't eat ground beef at all, it comes back up. I do best with fish, although I can also eat about 2/3 of a chicken thigh or fattier cuts of pork. Chicken breast is not so good, it's too dry. Sometimes I can eat 2 or 3 pieces of chicken wings, sometimes not. eggs are also good for me. And salad... I SO MISS SALAD- and nobody can believe I'd ever have said that. I can eat about 4 bites of salad and I'm done. GONE are the days at Olive Garden when my daughter and I would eat 2 or 3 bowls of salad along with several breadsticks and two bowls of soup... each...
