Problems with eating protein

Granted, the last few days I have had a stomach bug, but I have been able to eat.  However, the proteins that have been fine before just keep coming back up (steak, shrimp, chicken).  I am able to keep down protein shakes, bars, fruit, and as I learned tonight...perogi's.  I know, perogi's are a no no...potatoes and pasta.  However, it stayed down. 

Has anyone experienced this?  How is it I can keep down carbs (which I shouldn't eat) and can't keep down protein?

if you have a stomach bug, then your stomach is sensitive..... slider and gentle foods will go down a lot easier than foods that make the stomach work hard....as dense proteins will

I'd stick to simpler foods for a little longer, and aviod the simple carbs (easy but not worth it) and slowly work yourself back up to the more difficult foods.

Thanks, but don't even compare us...I have 100 lbs more to lose than you.  So, if you look at it in percentages, it evens out.

I didn't think about how hard my stomach had to work.  So far today I had a protein shake for breakfast (it took me forever to drink...30 mins, which is long for me because my shakes normally go down really easy), a protein bar for lunch, and then tried the chicken for dinner (didn't last) and the one perogi.  Between the shake (I use Silk and add a peanut butter powder that adds 5 grams of proein), and the bar I did get in 50 grams of protein even without the chicken.

Crackers always work best for me when my tummy is upset.  However, I can usually eat yogurt and protein shakes then, too, so I try to focus on those things.  If meat isn't sitting well, I would not worry.  Just stick with forms of protein that work for a few days, then try a small amount of meat and see how it works.

ETA: you could also be developing a stricture so if the problem goes on too long or gets worse, I'd call your surgeon.

Thanks for the advice.  I actually had a stricture fixed March 4th.  This luckly doesn't feel like that...yet.  But, that is what I'm worried about.  When I had the stricture I couldn't eat ANYTHING.  This just makes me feel nauseaed when I eat.
