Trouble with all meat since January 9 2017



Recommended Posts

I seem not to be able to stand or tolerate any meats. How normal is that? Will I regain taste or ability to tolerate? Tx julie

oh I had gastric bypass

Well. For me. Fish is one of the only Proteins ( and baked tofu which almost no one likes) that ALWAYS agrees with me. Wish it was chicken at times ...

meat has been a struggle for me as well, especially chicken. Seafood is tolerable, thankfully. I didn't even attempt meat the first year; I'm about 7 years post-op ... and I still can't eat meat. I don't get ill from other Proteins - only cooked meat. I've eaten Carpaccio without an issue, which is another reason why I think it's only cooked meats that are the problem. But how many UNcooked meats are there to choose from?! I also cannot eat rice or Pasta, which is okay by me. And I shy away from ground meats (hamburger, sausages, etc.) because those foods tend to get stuck. However, I can eat Jerky in small amounts.

Even after all these years, I still keep a bottle of meat tenderizer in my office, glove box, and purse ... just in case something gets "stuck" and I have to resort to using that to remove it. Luckily, I've learned enough that it doesn't happen as often anymore.

I recently read that Betaine Hydrochloride can be helpful, when taken with meals. I'm going to give that a try, as soon as I feel courageous enough ;)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
