Difficulty eating real protein
Hi Everyone,
This is my first time writing. I had my surgery 4/18 and have lost 90 pounds.
I have a question. I have difficulty eating real protein, chicken, beef, etc. It
seems my stomach take 11/2 to 2 hours to empty and in the meantime I
feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, I just get the food out via forced vomiting.
I know this is not good and probably has contributed to the hiatel hernia, but
I don’t know what to do. If I eat chips and candy, they go down fine, but the
health stuff does not. I am very frustrated. My reflux has gotten worse. The
surgeon has put me on carafate to neutralize the acid and I am on previcid,
which
stops acid production. My question; Wouldn’t both of these cause food to stay
in my stomach even longer. I really want to eat health, but when I try I get
into trouble.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regarding portions, mine are extremely
small, like 1 chicken leg from the wing, a piece of steak 1/1/2 inches long by
1/4 inch thick.
