What do you do when you are a picky eater, and now you dislike most of the things you need to assist in your weight loss?

I dislike so many of the Protein choices (like eggs, Peanut Butter, etc) and couldn't wait until I could incorporate things I love, like chicken, turkey, tuna, but since having the surgery I don't like the texture of certain foods. At all. I force myself to eat them because Protein intake really does contribute to weight loss...but discouraged by the fact the little I did like, just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Has anyone else ever had this experience? if so, what did you do to combat it?

I have a similar problem with textures. Fortunately, a lot of the short list of foods I can eat without wanting to gag are things that work for WLS. Part of my problem with food for most of my life is a problem with a lot of fruits and veggies, or rather the texture of them. It's not just healthy foods, its also foods like popcorn, pretzels, chips, hamburger... the list goes on. I think something that helped me was to do a LOT of research on alternate methods of getting your Protein in. There's also a chance that your body will eventually become not only accustomed to these foods but grow to crave it. What are some foods that you do like and that have a lot of Protein? Maybe I can give you some suggestions based on your texture likes and dislikes.

I have found that adding unflavored Protein powder and unflavored liquid Protein are my friends. I plan to use them in anything I can because there are so many things I really don't like. Good luck and share any good recipes you find.

I am 5 weeks post op and am finding myself in a similar boat. I just don't really like anything anymore. I almost gagged with tuna, and enjoyed it before. I mix unflavored Protein Powder with my yogurt, retried Beans, pudding, etc to get my Protein in.
