Thanks, Traci.

Good to be here, even if I'm not up to par yet. But like everyone has been saying, it is getting better every day........

Thanks again,

Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for times when eating solid food (chicken breast meat) early in the day (breakfast or lunch), causes discomfort and vomitting up mucus only, not food? I really need help with this. I've tried claritin and other over the counter meds to help with this, but nothing is really working consistently. Thanks. Kellye

Kellye: This is a really OLD thread, from 2005...You would do better to ask this question in a new thread...under say "post-op". That way more people will see it and be able to offer you advice.

Vomitting mucus only usually means that you are not chewing enough, you ate too much, or that your pouch doesn't agree with your food choice at that time. Options...don't eat it early in the day. Opt for things your tummy doesn't mind. I eat weight control oatmeal with a scoop of unflavored unjury for added protein. It's soft and I usually don't have any issues getting it to stick. Then later in the day...eat your chicken. Just be sure to chew, chew, chew....you want to puree it in your mouth before swallowing. And if your ealry out...you shouldn't be eating too much...about 2 - 4 oz. max of something that dense. Chicken and other dense meats/proteins take a LONG time to digest, and therefore you don't need to eat as much of them to make you feel FULL...or overfull. Chicken, or anytype of protein material will fill you up quickly. Going past that point often leads to mucus vomits. It's what happens when we over indulge, or the pouch says..."NO WAY JOSE!". Best of luck...
