Trouble eating meat, esp. at night



Recommended Posts

Since banding, even before fills, I am having a heck of a time with meat. I've make sure that it's moist enough, small pieces, chew like crazy, but it just chokes me. I do better at lunch, but forget meat at dinner. Any one else experience this. Suggestions?

What kind of meat are you eating ?

have you tried pork ? Steak is iffy for me , if its a good cut of meat and cooked right i can usually tolerate it. But if its dry nope cant do it.

Also sometimes when you THINK You have chewed enough try chewing another 20 times , That helps me .

I have trouble with meat in general. Doesn't matter which critter it came from. Some days I can get a little down, but most often I'm too tight not matter what I do. And yes, I'm definitely tighter in the evening trying to get it down.

It doesn't matter what kind of meat it is. I can eat some at lunch in very small amounts, but have pretty much given up trying to eat meat at night. It's a good thing there are other sources of Protein.< /p>

Not all the time, but I've noticed that I'm tight at night on the days when I've had high stress. I guess when I tense up, it causes the band to do so as well. Anyway. I've found that a half glass of wine or a warm relaxing drink like peppermint tea makes me chill out enough to handle it. It works for me. It's worth a try.

      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.
