Curses foiled again..........aaarrrrrrrgh!!!!

I got my band Jan 10th and have been doing great. I am into mushy foods and other than a little incident with tuna salad have had no problem. Won't be having tuna salad for a looooong time..lol. My list says boiled, moist really well cooked meat. I was on an archeological dig of my freezer and came across a pot roast. I'm thinking crock pot for hours equals moist and juicy. So I nestled it down in the crock pot with a ton of carrots and a couple of small potatoes and flipped the switch. Hours later after smelling it and driving myself crazy it was falling apart. Got myself a small piece cut it up really good put plenty of juice on it and took a small bite. It was sooooooooo good. I really enjoyed it for the brief time I had it...aaaarrrrrrgh. I can mash the carrots and potatoes and eat them but not the meat .......sniffle sniffle whine. Took most of it over to my elderly neighbor and froze the rest....sigh maybe someday. Oh well it's a learning experience, it's a learning experience.... repeat after me it's a learning experience...lol.

Would be nice to hit the fast forward button and be where we want to be, wouldn't it

I did make a pot roast about 3 weeks out of surgery. Mine was juicy too, but I still took it all and whizzed it in the mini food processor. Then I poured on a little gravy.

Still tasted YUM, but the fibers in the meat were broken down way more.

Im 9 months out and can't est roast still but I have no problem with streak it chicken. Everyone is different on what they can and can't tolerate

I pray I can do tuna fish and chicken (not together of course haha). meat Loaf sounds amazing right now. Heck anything with a crunch sounds good, btw im on day 4 pre-op so hence why i am all gitty about talking about "real" food.

I also got my band on the 10th and I'm on soft foods this week. I was told to eat only canned meats because they are soft and wet. My son made a big pot of chicken Soup and picked the chicken meat and put it back into the soup. I was able to eat that but I haven't eaten any real meat. I figure if it's not on the list for the week there's gotta be a reason.

I made slow cooker pot roast tonight and had some issues with it. It didn't get stuck, but I felt it for sure.......not pleasant but not unpleasant either.

It was moist but......I may not try it for a while.

people tolerate different foods. I cannot tolerate beef period. Everything else I have not had a problem with as long as it is moist and fairly tender. The exploration continues on!

I got banded on the 11th and since then have been experimenting with various soft foods and meats. Some things go down better than others and boy does my stomach let me know when it doesn't like something. Just taking it one day at a time : )

I was banded the 10th as well and made pot roast about 2 nights ago... no problems with it. In fact, the only thing that HAS given trouble (that I've tried) are my Vitamins. I almost wish I had a negative reaction so I wouldn't want to eat it!! I have lost a taste for certain foods, but that's about it. I've been fighting to maintain the 20lbs I've lost thus far, and it's not easy. Don't get a fill for another 2 weeks- aack! It's really weird; sometimes I feel like there's nothing in there and other days I eat a half a cup of food and I'm stuffed. I don't get it. Ready for the ball to start rolling again...

I wouldn't give up on not being able to eat pot roast just yet. Might have been too soon for your stomach...still healing and all that. If it's anywhere near as good as it sounded just reading about it, i would try it again in the future just to be sure it's off limits. You might get a pleasant surprise.
