Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hi , Hey do you have funny saliva . . kind of thick and stringy after you eat something, or maybe not until you start to try to drink water? The foods that you listed as going down good are pretty soft foods and or soft liquidy. I've had a lot of problems with strictures and the way that you describe the food just sitting in your pouch is how I feel with the stricture. When it gets really bad, I get that awful saliva and do lots of spitting up. Oh I also have a very nasty ulcer, which also causes the same type of feeling with heavier or denser foods (meat). The bad carbs (crackers, pretzels) go down with a smile however. I'm not saying you have a stricture or an ulcer, everyone is different and the same thing for me could be a very different thing for someone else. But, you might want to just mention it to your surgeon and see what he/she thinks. Hope you feel better soon! Joanie problems with meat, etc > My tastes are changing yet again. I really thought I would know by after two years out what my body tolerates and handles well. Instead of it getting easier eating meat, eggs, fish is getting harder for me. > > Because of financial problems recently I have become more dependent on my protein shakes as my primary protein source. I find I just get in more than about one bite of meat without it making me feel nauseous. It's not the amount. I am having problems with eggs too. > > Here's what I CAN tolerate. > *Cheese (especially sharp cheese) > *hamburger meat mixed with something else... 's > chili with sour cream and cheese in it > *sliced turkey breast from the deli in small amounts > *tuna if I mix the tuna salad myself (has to be in salad form though > * peanut butter (think of that more as a fat than a protein) > > sometimes the meats/fish taste odd to me. Sometimes it is just that I feel the food sitting in my stomach ... just sitting there and I want to make myself get sick (but I can't) > > I am trying to eat low carb but I can handle pretzels and chips just fine if I were to let myself have them (and some crackers) I am fine with fats. No problem whatsoever with them. > > I seem to have developed this problem with the texture of meats. > > My question is 1. am I going crazy? That this is happening now? > 2. Is there anything wrong with depending on protein shakes as my major source of protein? (I just mix them with water and ice cubes nothing else added) > > All this has come to the forefront today because I now that I have a little bit of money I had a craving for shrimp today and bought myself a small portion. I ate 1/2 of 1 shrimp and here it sits like it's a two-pound rock. (not only that it has no flavor) money wasted. > > who is going to have a protein shake tonight and give up on the shrimp. *LOL* > > RNY 6/25/01 > 313/195/?? > > > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.537 / Virus Database: 332 - Release Date: 11/6/2003 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 I only can't eat bowls of fruit because I can't eat ONE bowl. THAT is my problem! Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
