Is it too soon for vinegar?



Recommended Posts

I am 6 1/2 weeks post op. In the past 2 weeks I had tuna fish with light mayo twice and didn't feel well afterwards. Now I am allowed to eat vegetables so I tried 3 bean salad tonight. I had 2 small bites and feel the same as I did with the tuna. I realized the light mayo and the bean salad both have vinegar in them. I am thinking the vinegar is giving me problems. Is this possible? Why would vinegar cause me pain? When were you able to use vinegar?

Vinegar is very acidic, so that MIGHT be your problem, or it might be that you simply are eating too much heavy Protein. mayo doesn't have that much vinegar in it, I can't imagine it's enough to affect you.

Are your bites teeny? Like baby spoon teeny? Are you chewing your food until it's puree? Are you eating too fast? I had a really hard time with chicken for about 2 years and I still have a tough time with ground beef or any meat cooked to well done. I am three years out. :)

To answer your questions Yes Yes and No. I had 3 oz of chicken Tuesday night so I know it wasn't the chicken. So I am almost sure it is the vinegar that is too acidic for my tummy at this time. Will revisit those foods items with vinegar in them at a later date.

Try white fish.....

Beans=gas...painful, discomfort

Veggies... Try different ones. Some you'll tolerate better. Salads killed me up to 3 months ,I filled up on very little. But always remember even though you can have veggies......Protein first always. 4 oz chicken breast..30grams Protein

      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.
