Old habits die hard

I got busy today and skipped a couple meals.. I tried to make up for it this evening and ate some turkey breast. But I ate too much too fast and it got jammed in my chest.  I suffered with what some call the "foamies" for about twenty minutes.  You think I would have learned about poultry after having this happened twice before.  Luckily it didn't last an hour like the first time.  I guess it's all part of the process.

A major problem for me is getting off of schedule, catching up is almost impossible. 

Every October I go on a week long bowhunting trip with 11 other guys.  We make deer drives all day long every day, Im sure we walk 10 miles a day through the thickest swamps and steepest forests known to man.  Many times we don't make it back to the trucks for over 8 hours and I miss lunch.  Even though I have my snacks along it just isn't enough.  When we go for supper the other guys can eat enough food to sustain the calories that we burned, I can't.  I take as much of my meal back to my room as I can and get up in the middle of the night to fini**** but even that is half of what the others ate.  By the end of the week I am down 5 or 6 pounds and just plain wore out.  Catching up is hard to do, but I would rather be wore out than get the foamies.  LOL

I did the same thing the other day, I normally can handle turkey and chicken, but my son had a fund raiser and sold smoke turkey breast and I picked one up from school at 3pm, grab a couple of pinches off the top on the way home and before I got there I started throwing up and it lasted for almost 3 hours. Not sure if I want to test turkey again or not.

Turkey and chicken can be a BIG PROBLEM for me.  I need to chew and take my time.  If it gets stuck its major pain for an hour.  I therefore, shy away from the birds. Fish and 97/3 burger and some steak

Plan ahead!!  I keep plain almonds, walnuts, dry roasted peanuts and beef jerkey in my pockets...I also keep a Vitamin B Complex pill there too...I nibble on it throughout the day...but then I'm a strange booger to begin with...

yeah....post WLS you really should try not to skip meals. In the beginning it's VERY hard to make it up.

I'd suggest getting some premade protein shakes and some protein snacks (like beef jerky or something) and keeping them close by
