i shouldnt have

man i went to a christmas party tonight i did good i just drank my water.. then i ate a piece of deli meat and a little taste of cheese and now i feel like crap.. ! so i guess this well take all night to disguest im assuming.. why did i do that,,. i thought i was doing the right thing eating a peice of deli meat so i wouldnt be looking crazy.. ! they had all kinds of food but i did good. now i feel funny. then i just had a tiny tiny sip of sparkling apple juice,.. oh well im glad i wont be going out to any more christmas events.. and if invited im saying no.

Kendal, I know exactly what you mean! Tonight i was at my mother's house and she had made baked ziti, i figured i can have pasta right?? well after one spoonful i was so sick to my stomach! I didnt throw up or anything i just felt sick. and now the thought of eating baked ziti again makes me feel icky! I guess this is the price we have to pay! lol!

Kendal, I had a piece of deli turkey and cheese on the 3rd. almost a month post op. I didnt have any problems with it either. maybe it was the apple cider that made you feel icky?

pasta takes up a lot of room in the pouch... I was told to stay away from it and bread.

So was I!! Actually rice too!! I have eaten deli meat from the week after surgery with no problems. I have turkey or chicken breast. Isn't it weird how some of us can eat things and others can't?? I wonder why that is....everyone is just so different!! I am so nervous to eat potatoes, bread, pasta, anything like that in fear that my stomach will stretch out because it expands in your stomach. I have so far, stuck mostly to proteins....(Guess that is good since that is what MY Dr. recommends)

Teresa, Have you tried cream cheese in a rolled up deli meat??? YUM! That's my favorite for the past two days anyway... until I get sick of eating that too... lol Oh yeah, no rice here either. I have had a smidgen of mashed potatoes, really mushy ones. Donna

YUM!!!! I used to eat those with pickles inside!! I bet it does taste good!! I am going to have to go get some cream cheese now!! I love it!! I had to chuckle when I read what you wrote about getting sick of eating that too...lol!! That is me!! It seems everything I eat, I get so sick of!! I may eat something one time and think OH YUK, and it could have been something I LOVED before!!! Its so weird how are tastes change!!

Ironically for me I can keep down the carb stuff like potatos and bread but not the protein like chicken. I have barfed almost every time I have had chicken or other types of meat. I have been taking really tiny bites and chewing until my jaw aches but it still just feel like it gets stuck. I though for sure that the carb stuff would too, but nope. It's interesting how different everyone is that has the same surgery.
