Afraid to Eat

Hi All I'm venting here. I'm afraid to eat today. I threw up the first time last week with a stupid pill that got stuck. This week some turkey made me sick - I'm sure I ate to fast. Last night I spent 2 hours throwing up - and I'm sure it was some bad chicken because I served myself 1 once black beans, and 1 ounce chicken. I ate 2 bites (super slow with LOTS of chewing) and it didn't taste good. This was cooked chicken I vacuumed sealed right before surgery. It smelled fine but just didn't taste good. I figured I must not like roasted chicken anymore. I had eaten some before I sealed it and it was great. I guess it went bad even though it was sealed, because I was so sick last night, could not even keep water down, and it was like being sick before, just more painful. The whole thing lasted 2 hours and the pain finally went away 4 hours after I had tried to eat. I've thrown all the chicken away, and this morning so far I have been able to drink water and some tea, but I am so afraid to eat again. I know it will pass. It's definitely liquids and soft foods for a couple of days. Don't get sick - it's bad! Inky

I have been having troubles with chicken. But I am not sure what to tell you to try right now..maybe something that will go down easy and come up easy just in case.....maybe jello.....Well please someone else help....I only got sick once and I was scared also and I ate jello for a couple days.....

I don't have any suggestions that your not doing your self! I just wanted to wish you well dee

I had my surgery 4 days after you and I'm not allowed to eat anything unless it's babyfood consistancy and no meat or raw veggies. I think if I was to try chicken right now.. it would me me sick to. Although I crave it! Maybe you just need more time healing? My doc said no 'real food' untill June 29th. *sigh* So I envy you guys that get to try the waters sooner then me. I hope you feel better soon! -Shakeira

Inky - sorry to hear you've gotten sick. I've thrown up a couple of times myself. The first time I mixed peanut butter with my oatmeal. Whoa Nelly...that didn't go over well at all. Another time, I had eaten PB from a spoon and then had followed it with refried beans, shredded chicken and cheese blended together...not pretty. I think I ate the beans, ckn, ch too soon after the PB. I can eat the PB by its self just fine, but when I mix it with stuff it doesn't work. I stayed away from chicken for a few days after that. I would try peanut butter on a spoon, or boiled egg or baked or mashed potatoes. For me, after I get sick even my protein drinks or soups are intolerable so I have to have some type of soft foods. Good luck and hang in there...at this point - every meal is an adventure! Take care, Tammy
