What a Dump

So I learned my lesson yesterday on how much I can eat and what I can eat . So Tuesday we ordered from The Outback Steakhouse I got a salad plain baked potato and a steak . Tuesday I just ate the salad for dinner . Wednesday yesterday I had the baked potato for lunch and half the steak for dinner and a piece of the brown bread that came with it . About a half hour later eating the steak and bread I was on the floor with a huge stomach ache and sweating like crazy one hour later I was throwing up . This all went on for about 4 and half hours It wasn’t food poisoning because my wife ate the same thing. I’m thinking it was maybe the skin from the potato which I remembered I wasn’t supposed to eat although I’ve eaten a whole baked potato a couple of times and nothing happened . So it might of been the potato , might have been the steak and piece of bread don’t know. I had the same things about a month ago and I was fine . I forgot to mention I did eat a little too fast which might have been the problem . So for you newcomers be careful what you eat when you’re aloud to eat and slow down eating . M going back to measuring my food for sure
 
I am so sorry you had that experience, Bill. It is a mystery since you didn't have the problem last time you ate the same thing. I am wondering if maybe your bites were too big and you didn't chew the meat enough. I don't know about the dangers of potato skins. They were never on my no-no list and I almost always eat potatoes with skin on.

There is no doubt this was related to your meal and not to some mysterious 2-hour flu.

So, what are you going to do next time you have the opportunity to eat steak and potato with brown bread? I think it's safe to say also that some breads are very hard to digest and I don't know about brown bread because I've never eaten at the Outback. But some bread turns into virtual wads of glue or putty and block your stoma. That is a huge danger to post-op patients, especially the ones that are just a few months out.
 
Yeah I ate some pretty big bites that could’ve been me of the problems. I’m having the rest of the steak tonight and I’m going to chew the hell out of it . Also breads been like a hit and go with me sometimes hard to digest other times no problem especially Cheesecake Factory breadbit goes down fine.

Ugh, so sorry Bill, sounds absolutely terrible. I'm glad you're up and feeling better now.
