Can't eat meat - when did you like meat again?

[tenseintexas 182]

14 weeks out- meat makes my stomach hurt a lot. I fear that I won't be able to eat meat for forever and I will be stuck with this disgusting Protein powder. Before surgery I ate meat a lot ...

My plan allowed me to add salmon and other fish Week 6, and chicken, ground beef, and turkey Week 7. I added bacon back into Breakfast last week, too. The only thing they advise to wait on is steak, with a recommendation of 4-6 months.

I haven't had any problems with any of the meats at all. I eat about 2 oz at a time.

Have you talked to your team about your body's reaction to meat? If so, what did they say about it?

I haven't but I was super nauseous for the last 6 weeks and they said it was all fine. They don't seem worried about much.

What kind of meat are you eating? I ate a lot of fish and seafood at first. I wasn't allowed steak until 6 months. I still rarely eat chicken because it is so dry there is always a chance it will get stuck.

A lot of the meat that people eat in the beginning like tuna, are hard to process. If you like seafood. Soft white fish is your friend,

Roasted chicken or chicken breast in can (like tuna) is moist..cut in small pieces and rember your chewing technique...thin cut (lean) meats are better to digest..still chewing technique..hope that helps for you and things get better☺

At 3-4 months post op, I could not tolerate beef, and I was too scared to try other meats.

I ate mainly chicken, turkey and fish.

At 5 months, I tried veal and lamb, had to be very moist, and I was OK with them.

Then I tried pork, and this was fine with me, too.

I was on Nexium as well, 40mg.

Just because meat makes you unwell right now, does not mean that you won't be able to stay away from it forever.

Give it bit of time, like few weeks, and then perhaps try meat that is minced/ground with lot of sauce in it, and see how you go.

Stomach takes 6 months to heal, so with time tolerances and tastes may change.

Good Luck.
