Can't eat deli sliced turkey?



Recommended Posts

I expected to not be able to eat bread, rice, and Pasta. I even thought chicken breast and certain veggies would be off the menu.

But lunchmeat?

I can eat the chicken, broccolli, even bread but one bite of lunch meat (by itself) causes an immediate golf ball in my chest.

The band is a fickle fickle thing.

I can only eat deli turkey if I get the cheaper, moister turkey directly from the deli. Never had a problem with roast beef though... maybe try that?

I dont really eat deli meat anyway, I dont like it. I dont like the thought of what's been done to it and I particularly loathe ham.

But I cant eat it either, it causes me discomfort too. And I can eat bread!

One of the other really weird things I cant eat is any processed Breakfast Cereal like Cornflakes or Rice Bubbles. It just will not go down. Yet you'd think they'd almost be a mushy wouldnt you? Heavy muesli or oatmeal, no problem but rice bubbles, no way. Not good for me anyway, just processed sugary carbs.

I think its the same thing - little bubbles of rice that go snap crackle pop?

Yeah! That's it! Rice Crispies. Yum! I like a few Rice Crispies with my sugar. It's about the only time I put sugar on Cereal.< /p>

I get the deli to shave the chicken breasts so that they are falling apart thin, then I make chicken salad out of it. The ham and roast beef don't shave the same way.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
