Why Is Meat Making Me Sick?



Recommended Posts

I love meat. Like seriously have always been able to sit down with a plate of steak or chicken and nothing else. Now when I need the Protein every time I eat meats I get sick (nausea then throw up). Why?

How far out are you? No one can answer without knowing this. Most can not eat steak for quite a while and chicken unless it is cooked soft can be a problem too.

My aunt couldn't eat meat without throwing up for 2 years, now she can eat it without any problem. But she had the RnY, so not sure if that would make a difference or not.

I was told not to eat beef or pork until 6 weeks out. chicken only if you eat small bites and chew very well. Fish and seafood should go down well.

5 weeks out is still really early. You may be eating too much, too fast, or it might be too tough for you. Try eating less and make sure it's really soft. Also take teeny tiny little bites and chew really well before you swallow.

Everyone tolerates food a little differently. What type of meat are you eating? Recommend soft fish at first then try something besides beef. One of my SoCal group buddies at three years out still feels "heavy" when eating chicken.

So, you are learning what you can and can not have right now. Back off what you can't tolerate now and try again in a few months.

Hugs...things will get easier as you learn on this journey.

It is too early for beef or pork. I make my chicken thighs in the crock pot and eat very small bites and chew alot. I didn't eat chicken until week 8.

That's one opinion. I've been eating puréed chicken since day 10 with no issues whatsoever, so it's not too early for everyone.

OP, maybe you can try canned chicken since its not as dry. I've also had an easy time with tilapia and tuna steak (in the blender). If something doesn't work, just wait a week or two and try again. Good luck!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
