katiemay0101 26 Posted February 4, 2013 I had surgery on January 9th and I am about 3.5 weeks out. I wasn't a huge meat eater before the surgery but I can't seem to keep any meat in me now. I've tried tuna, talapia, chicken and turkey. when I eat any of this I don't get anywhere near the 1 oz before i am so uncomfortable. It feels like it's sitting right in my throat and then it comes back up. I'm not talkin about just once, I've tried a few times. Cottage cheese, string cheese (I can tolerate 2 of these at a time!) yogurt, and some Beans are fine. I can even tolerate cashews but meat doesn't seem like it's ever going to work. Anyone else have this problem? Should I even bother or should I just go vegetarian? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted February 4, 2013 Make sure you are chewing the heck out of it. I used to have to add a dressing or something to make it really moist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
