Problem digesting meat?



Recommended Posts

I'm 6 weeks post op and have just started eating some soft meats. This is making me very sick and I've even experienced the dumping syndrome. Has anyone had this problem with meats? Any suggestions?

What meats are you eating? Make sure they're low fat - 93/7 beef or ground turkey. No more fat than that really.

Yeah, as @lvidacovich said, the only time I had issues with meat was when it was too fatty.

Sorry you're dealing with that.

Now that I'm almost 8 months post bypass I can eat all meat but beef in ANY form is nasty now because I can taste the "blood" no matter how it's cooked, and steak was one of my favorite foods.

Way to early for solid meats - I can barely eat a small slices of skirt steak, beat to hell and tender. I agree with above if it has white on it - Trim it all off - The fat is most likely tearing you up plus the texture,

At that point ground turkey, pork or fish or shellfish - Hamburger may be a little to fatty and rough that early

**I just got back from lunch and ordered civeche, No way i was doing a meat or chicken

I do very lean chicken, ground turkey or fish. I will try some super lean ground beef on occasion but I'm not a huge fan of red meat. I'm guessing the meats your eating are too fatty. Try something leaner.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
