Struggling Eating Meat, HELP!



Recommended Posts

I am am almost 6 months post and I am beginning to not like eating meat. This last past week I had my housekeeper make me some pinto Beans in the pressure cooker. I enjoyed those much better. I also made some tuna and that was much better chicken or beef. Has anyone else went through a phase this far out and what did you do for Protein sources? Did you begin to like meat again? Cottage cheese is hard to get here where I live. I have been off shakes for along time. I eat eggs everyday. Any suggestions are appreciate. Fish is yuck to me too!

I eat steak and fish and chicken all the time. The best way is to keep it moist and eat slower smaller bites cause it's denser and takes longer to ingest!

I don't have a problem digesting, I just am don't like it. I have only thrown up once eating shrimp and that was early on. I have only had slimmies twice early on. I learned quick on how to eat because it was not a nice feeling. But not liking the taste is a new experience for me.

Any desire to become a vegetarian? Might be better to just go with what your body is telling you. Maybe you could research high Protein vegetarian dishes at least for now.

Some people end up not being able to tolerate steak. My nut spoke for a while about this. Just like some become lactose intolerant, some struggle with meats. I'd say, stick to fish, and live with it. Your sleeve has spoken

Yeah never thought about becoming a vegetarian. I will look at some high Protein dish ideas. I don't like fish right now either. I have been tolerating fine. It is the taste that I am not liking. I can tolerate everything I have tried.

I am just wondering if anyone else has gone through this at 6 month mark.

I have similar feelings...meat doesn't appeal to me as much as it used to. I have eaten so many eggs that I don't even like them anymore, I eat Atkins bars for at least 1 meal a day and also get Protein from milk and yogurt. Kashi has a Cereal that is high in protein. One of my favorite meals is Soup, since the meat is in small pieces. Wendy's chili and Chic-Fila chicken tortilla soup work well for me.

Im going through this now, all of a sudden it feels the meat won't digest and it totally upsets my stomach and I end up with high BP. going to all my drs, nobody can find anything wrong, so along with my nutritionist/body builder : just sticking to soft Protein stuff, and eating small ,amounts, I want to eat meat, chicken, hopefully I can one day. and yes if this continues I will be back to drs. I wonder if I was doing too much Protein, as I have always drank a Protein Drink everyday. and now I haven't for a few days..

      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.

      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.
