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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
