Tuna Or Red Meat Problems



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I'm going on my 6th week and already eating a lil of everything but the two things I seem to have problems with are tuna n red meat. I know I have go chew really good n just a small amount but when I eat that I just feel like it gets stuck n won't go down.. Any one have issues? I try to eat it because of Protein but when I do it's very little n I feel it takes for ever to break it down.

I'm at about 5 weeks, I can eat tuna, but only as tuna salad with a lot of mayo. I haven't even attempted any red meat yet, I haven't gotten to that phase in my diet plan.

I'm 2 mos post op & can't tolerate ground beef at all. I've tried every preparation I can think of...in Soup, meatball with sauce, etc. Can't get it down...it just sticks! I eat a lot of fresh tuna -Ahi- seared on the outside & extremely rare inside. It goes down like butter with some ginger miso dressing that's.low cal, low sugar, low fat, low carbs.....delish & healthy & loaded with protein! Try it :) I hate canned tuna....haven't tried it post op. It's all trial & error so give yourself a couple more weeks & try them again. Don't rush it. Good luck :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
