So - does everyone vomit ? I mean 2-3 times a week , it just hits me. My nose begins to run and I vomit- during my meal time or right after. its slimey and gross but when do you worry as to be honest I am not minding it at all...... chicken and I keep trying to consummate and well most the time we dont mix ???? I play with the other Proteins and they like me really well.

For many people, a runny nose or hiccups is a sign that you have already eaten too much. I also get a gurgle in my stomach.

I went through a stage similar to what you are describing. I THOUGHT I was eating slowly enough and chewing thoroughly enough. When I examined closely what I was actually doing, it turns out I was chewing very well but I was still eating too fast and therefore, eating too much before I realized it. I had to make a very conscious effort to pay attention while I was eating and eat less than I thought I wanted or needed. chicken was involved more than once even though I had successfully eaten it often before. Another mistake I was making was not waiting long enough to drink after I ate. Drinking before meal time does not seem to have an effect for me. But drinking too soon afterwards seemed to contribute to my problem. And my immediate reaction when I start to feel uncomfortable, was to drink something to "wash it down." Big mistake, that only makes it worse.

a lot of people seem to have trouble with chicken. At least the first few weeks or months. Maybe back off of that and try again later on?

thank you for the input - i do get hiccups when i am full. I have to figure it out - so i will go slower -i chew forever so that cant be it. maybe i am too quick in between bites. it is crazy. it is not from too much food i can say that as everything is in a bowl that is a ramekin at 4 oz. it fits ! lol

You explained very well what my problem is: I chew forever but am way too fast between bites.

Aaah the foamies. Better than a full out vomit but still unpleasant. Our tummies can be pretty fussy to begin & you may find you can eat something without issue one day but the next no way. Give that food a break & try it again in a couple of weeks.

Eating slowly is really important. I still eat slowly: 30 - 60 minutes for a meal depending upon what it is. What I found helped was putting down my cutlery between bites & sitting back from the table. I also asked myself if I needed (not wanted) that next bite to help ensure I didn’t overeat. I still do these things.

I also find dry foods cause issues like the foamies or a gagging choking thing so I try to ensure my meals are moist or have some sort of sauce or gravy with them. I tend to steam my vegetables so they add moisture too.

If you like chicken, try the more tender (& flavoursome) thigh meat & not breast which is drier & more coarse in texture.

We all have these quirky or strange things that happen to let us know we’ve eaten too much, too quickly, something our tummies don’t like, etc. It will take a little time to work out your signals & then modify what & how you eat accordingly.

Good luck.

Yes i have a problem eating chicken too and if I eat it too fast. It causes me to throw up. My nose runs when I am full, ill get hiccups or feel like I have something stuck in my throat.

      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.
