I suffered from memory loss and I am paying for it

Last night, my sweetie bought home some great chicken wings from Wild Buffalo or whatever the name is. Because they were so good, I had this idea that it will be my lunch today, since he got more than I could eat in one sitting. 

I forgot that leftover chicken is not my friend and was just thinking of how great they tasted, honey mustard BBQ.  Babylapband quickly reminded me as I lean face first over the trash can praying that noone come in as I baptized the trashcan.  Nothing like a swift kick in the butt to remember what I know already.  And it was not a gentle reminder either. I have no body but me to blame.  Guess it will be soup for dinner tonight.

Chicken wings happen to be one of the only forms of chx I can eat so I sympathize with you ! I cannot do them left over either. :(   I cannot do any left over meat come to think of it . Heck I am just glad I am not the only one who stands over the garbage can and hopes no one comes by as I wretch .LOL 

I am just grateful, that it smell like food and not vomit, so I was able to tie the bag off so when the cleaning folks take it, they wont get sick from the smell.  I am happy to read that I am not alone (not that I wish this on you) but good to know when someone share your pain.

Ohhhh you are both so not a lone with this.  I cannot eat left over meat very well either.  Today however, I had some left over turkey sausage -- and well, I guess I didn't chew enough and ate a little fast, not paying attention, cuz I got that "stuck in my esophagus feeling", then the ohhh so lovely hiccups (loud as could be), but now am fine -- just a little sore in my chest.

has anyone found out why leftover meat is making you sick? Really curious about that

Yep, leftover meat = no can do for me too. I think it's the microwaving to heat it or something. Just changes the texture to tough no matter what.

I'm joining you in the soup for dinner tonight. I just got a 2 cc unfill due to bad reflux.  Did a barium swallow and boy howdy, it's a miracle I was not getting stuck. However, my esophagus was starting to pouch out, so it's gut rest for me for a month.

My soup tonight is chicken veggie. Yours?

Potatoe soup and it was good. Good luck in letting yhour esophagus rest up.

Please forgive me for this question, but since banders dont get "dumping" why do you still throw up?  Eating fast or big pieces, I don't understand?  I am newly post op so I'm not eating that stuff yet?  I am just trying to prevent this from happening?  What does it feel like?  If I eat yogurt to fast, I feel like a fullness or pressure in my left side of my chest, is that what it feels like to eat to fast?? 

Thanks for the info and I'm sorry you got sick....hope you are feeling better soon!! 

There is no reason to ask for forgiveness for asking a question if you dont know the answer to it.  I will attempt to answer in terms to make it easy for you to understand.

When I said I was over the trash can it was more of the food with a lot of slim that came up, what is know as PB which is productive burping.  No I wasnt eating fast or too big of a piece.  For me, when I microwave meat, it goes from tender to dry and it get stuck somewhere between my throat, my chest and my band.  Because it is stuck, my throat attempt to help it goes down by producing this thick slim to try to help it but more time than not, it comes up instead of down. when you get stuck, you may have ate just a bite or two but slim like you ate the entire chicken.

What does it feel like?  It feels like I got something stuck and I want it to come the heck up and quick..it not really throwing up since stomach acid is not involve.  Your description is a pretty good one except but it not always due to eating to fast, it could be dryiness, too big of bite. 

I am good, I dont PB much except when I do something that I know better even before I do it, when I PB, I just give my stomach a rest and make my next meal a easy one to go down.

thank you so much for explaining that...I was wondering!!  I get my first fill on 4/18...I'm looking very much forward to it....

thank you so much again for explaining that...
