Hi Deanna, I'm 4 1/2 weeks out and I know there are several foods that just don't sit right with me. Personally eggs give me a gut ache. I don't dump at all but my stomach hurts after I eat them. I have also heard that chicken can be really rough on your stomach. You may want to think about going back to some of the more liquid proteins for awhile. Give that little pouch a bit of a rest. It is important to get your proteins in. I know my surgeon says it is the number 1 thing to do. I can usually get in almost 60 GM of protein with things like refried beans, LF yogurt, creamed soups, cottage cheese, sugar-free pudding. Try making some creamed soups with milk, that way you can get some more protein in. I also use a protein powder to up some of the protein counts or to add protein in foods where there isn't any, such as SF applesauce, winter squash, etc.... I was told by my nutritionalist that if any food makes me nauseated, bloated or gives me diarehea I should leave it alone for at least a week before I try it again.
Just something to think about. Take care of yourself and that little pouch. You really are still pretty early post-op.
