Does anyone else have problems with reheated foods? Last week I ate a piece of juicy chicken and saved some for the next day. The left overs made me vomit. Then the same happened a few days later. Yesterday I cooked an awesome salmon. Saved some for lunch. Just ate it and now I'm so uncomfortable and vomiting again. Could it be that my pouch is rejecting left overs? Or maybe it's the microwave drying out the food?

Thanks!

I thought it was just me. Leftovers make me sick. Even cold things like chicken salad. Idk what that's about but it's weird.

Maybe it's a build up of bacteria being left in the fridge??

The high temp of the microwave kills any bacteria. Also my fridge temp is below bacteria growing temp.

I made taco meat tonight and will eat it again for lunch tomorrow to make sure it's not a moisture issue. If I get sick again I'm done with leftovers! My dogs are gonna love all the extra food!

Well, Bacteria can definitely grow in a refrigerator, even in restaurant quality coolers and more so than the level of heat something is reheated at is a length of time at certain heat that would kill any bacteria that may have settled. One other thing that can help is making sure its not still hot when you pit it in the fridge. Either way I was just trying to be helpful. I am super sensitive to re-heated food too, so I hope you are able to figure it out, or that your animals enjoy it!

same here, what works for dinner one night will not work for lunch the next day. I kind of blame it on the microwave in some situations, like meats. I have never been a real lover of leftovers, but not for any particular reason. And now leftovers don't like me.

The left overs are probably too dry. The same thing has happened to me with meatloaf.

I bought a bariatric cookbook. It says any microwaved leftovers would be too tough so it suggests keeping gravy or dressings on hand to eat with it to soften it up. I had some salmon that was tough the next day and was not working out but then ate it with some tartar sauce and went down fine.

I agree! I think it's a moisture problem. I was able to eat very moist left overs today. I added some Water and a damp paper towel in the microwave. It went down much better!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
