Re: Re: Re: [MGB-PostOp] Cubed Steak doesn't like me!

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

How strange.........I'm sorry you had that experience. My surgery was

5-31-00 and I've had beef a lot. Filet Mignon, Sirloin, Prime Rib, Pot Roast,

London Broil, Ground Sirloin, Smothered Steak, Meatloaf, Lasagna, Mexican Food

and probably others. The only time I

threw up was after I ate a couple of bites of barbeque brisket. It came up as

fast as it went down......it wasn't violent or anything, I just knew it wasn't

going to stay down, I think it may have been the sauce.

Did you fry the cubed steak????? If you did it might have been the oil.

I still don't care much for fried foods.

It sounds like you were definately " dumping " . The difficulty breathing

may have been caused from a rapid pulse......this happened to me once when a ate

a whole BLT sandwich. The first half went down so good and tasted so good, I

decided to eat the second

half.......BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! My pulse was rapid and hard and I could feel it in

my throat...... That's the only time it happened. It is an adventure, isn't

it!!!!!!

Love,

Genz

seconds later I felt just awful.

good, that cube steak decided it did not like me and was going out the same way

it came in!!! - UGH!

before, maybe eating too fast? But still what's it got to do with breathing?

Wierd, I don't know maybe it's just me!

> I learned my lesson, I know I won't ever have a piece of cubed-steak (or any

steak) any time soon! Thanks for listening everybody to my tale of woe.
