Food not digesting in pouch



Recommended Posts

I'm still fairly newly post-op (2.5 months) and this is the first time I have experienced this and was wondering if anyone had this happen and what can I do about it?

Last night around 7:30 I had my dinner which was chicken breast, about 3 oz. I went to bed and when I woke up this morning at 6AM, I immediately had to run to the bathroom and vomitted and a lot of the chicken came up. Some of it was partially digested and some was more intact. What is going on? Why hadn't it moved out of the pouch overnight? Is something wrong?

Have you had chicken before? Some people struggle with it. May have been too dry too?

in addition to what kcuster83 said (which I agree with), stomachs don't "churn" nearly as much after surgery than they did before....so it's doubly important to chew things really well before swallowing. So that could be another factor (although I agree with the dryness of chicken - lots of people have issues with chicken the first few weeks or months because of that)

I eat chicken all the time and this is the first time that it's happened. It was a really juicy rotisserie chicken too! Maybe it's just one of those weird RNY things...like one day everything is fine, next day nope!

hmm, i have heard of it happening. When people eat things and then suddenly one time it doesn't agree with them.

I haven't experienced it but have read it on here and another forum quite a few times.

PS: I love rotisserie chicken 😁

chicken is my nemesis. Minced is fine but any other cut mostly makes me get the foamies
