Ok hun let's try taking this one at a time.

Define "alot" of oatmeal? Oatmeal and yogurt are "slider" foods meaning they don't stay in your pouch very long because they are soft but depending on what kind they are they are not empty calories at all. Sugar free oatmeal and greek yogurt are good for you and your baby.

If the chicken you ate felt stuck it could be that it was not chewed enough maybe? Chicken will make you feel fuller longer because it's a solid food and you will be able to eat less of it as well.

You and your baby need nutrition. Are you still struggling with the bullemia? Stick to protein and ask your doctor for a range of calories while you are pregnant.

Please don't just let this continue.
