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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
