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..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
