Food intolerance?



Recommended Posts

So what are the symptoms of not tolerating what you just ate/drank? My program gave me plenty of information on dumping but not really what to expect if something isn’t tolerable vs normal reactions?

So far when I've eaten something that I can't tolerate (steak, bread/tortilla), I throw up "the foamies." It's not food that I throw up, it's like a foamy mucus and my stomach rolls and feels like everything's rolling up toward my mouth.

Your tummy is just trying to EVICT a tenant! You didn't need that meat filled burrito anyway!🍝

I think it will prob be diff for everyone. I jst started purees this week and trying to eat smashed scrambled eggs with mashed avacado and totally threw up for the first time. It was weird bec earlier that day, I ate a cup of turkey chilli from Panera bread and all of it it stayed down just fine. I also pureed some canned salmon with chicken broth, and it also stayed down, but later in the evening when i tried it again with out the broth,but chewed up like puree, I vomited which was SOOOO PAINFUL!

Like they say this is a new tool. We have to break in and learn how to use it. What does not work today maybe work months later. It's always changing till it is worked in. Now with me going on 4 1/2 months my stomach will start hurting when I have put to much in or eat to fast. If I continue to eat the foamy's will start. You will start spitting up what looks like foam from the ocean. Standing up and walking will help in time but throwing it up will relieve the pressure in your stomach and throat.

Starts to feel like a “back up” in my stomach. Like things aren’t wanting to stay put. My mouth fills will saliva and generally the only way to feel better is to throw up, but you can’t force yourself to throw up; doesn’t work. Either your body gets its out, or not. If not, the pain builds and you feel bloated and uncomfortable . At least this is how it feels for me.

      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.
