I had lap band on Oct. 10, 2012. So far I have lost 37 pounds and have about 70 more to go. Before the lap band I was not a fan of meat, I hate steak. Mainly because of the texture. I could tolerate a hamburger with lots of bread and cheese. After the lap band now that I have to chew chew chew I cannot stand the way meat feels. All the flavor leaves and you are left with a crumbly, stringy mush in your mouth before you swollow. I don't want to eat meat anymore! Has anyone else been turned off by meat and do you have any suggesstions for how to get your protein intake besides eggs?
