Yes, throwing up works the best for me too. You won't make that mistake again.

So sorry to hear it!

chicken and Pork are really hard to eat because they do not soften up and they are very dry. If you can't cut it with a fork, it's gonna be awhile before you can swallow it. I had my first dumping incident over pork and I think it will be a long time before I try to eat that again! :o

I haven't had pork yet but I'll surely take my time at every meal.

I was able to eat chicken breast at 4 weeks. I was told by my bariatrician to make sure to cook it to just done so it doesn't dry out. Then use sauces or gravies to help make sure it slides down easier.

My favorite recipe is Greek chicken breasts. The marinade actually changes the texture of the chicken in a great way. It is low fat and delicious!

marinade:

1/2 cup olive oil

juice of 1 1/2 to 2 lemons

2 cloves of garlic pressed or minced

1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh oregano chopped

Salt

Pepper

Mix it well, put it in a ziplock bag with the chicken breasts for minimum of one hour. The longer you let it marinade the better. You can even do it the night before.

Then grill the breasts using either your outdoor, indoor grill or grill pan. Cook them to done, don't dry them out.

They are awesome and the rest of my family loves them. I serve them with grilled zucchini or tiny Greek salad.

By the way you could serve them with yogurt/cucumber sauce but it honestly is not necessary, they are very moist.

If you had a gastric bypass, lie on your left side. That is the way to urge the food in your new stomach to enter your intestines. It really works. Then, there is throwing up, but I've never thrown up anything but slimed foam.

I know you are feeling better but Papaya Enzymes are handy to have around. I picked up a bottle from the Pharmacy when I read they help with digestion and tried it. It does help when I overeat and on stuck days. I don't use it much anymore but it's good to have around. Just check that they don't interact with anything you are taking by asking your Physician if you want.

      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.
