Shanell 30 Posted June 18, 2021 Okay so I have been told meat holds a lot of Protein and thats cool.......... if it stayed down my surgery was 03/12/21 and everything went great Im doing great but when it comes to eating meat its a NO for me only meat that tends to do alright is turkey sandwich meat and ribeye steak cooked right! Fruits and veggies does great especially when its soft but why do I spit up after I eat? I'm getting tired of it, I gotta keep spit bottles with me or plastic cups in my purse its disgusting do anyone have this issue or is this normal or what I'm doing wrong?Sent from my SM-S515DL using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristieshannon 1,668 Posted June 18, 2021 When was your surgery? Many of us have trouble with dense or dry meat, especially early on. Have you tried ground beef, chicken, or turkey yet? Steak has always worked for me as has any ground meat. I’m nearly 2 years post op and still can’t eat much pork, it’s too dense for me. Experiment, and if something doesn’t work now try it again in a few months. Take small bites, chew well, and eat slowly! 1 Shanell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizonaplane 1,613 Posted June 18, 2021 Have you tried fish? That's something that a lot of people have said works well for them. Even if you didn't like fish before surgery, you might like it now. Also try chicken thighs cooked in a stew or sauce so they're not dry, or something like chili or meatballs made with ground turkey. 1 Shanell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maisey 260 Posted June 18, 2021 Keep eating the meats that work for you. Make sure other meats are not dry and/or are in sauce. I ate a lot of chicken breast early on and had no trouble. But I was running in through the food processor first to make sure it was in small pieces and I chewed it forever. I no longer use the food processor and it sometimes now gives me trouble. My biggest issue is eating too fast. That will lead to tons of saliva (like what happens before vomiting) and foamies. It happens less now that I am better at watching myself and recognizing the signs earlier. But I had numerous unpleasant episodes in my 3rd and 4th month after surgery. 2 Shanell and lizonaplane reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
