Since I have gotten my fills, I have always had a hard time eating meats other than most fish...strange since before the band I never ever would make/eat anything fish. I think this happened because I have had a hard time eating any other kind of meat. I have been banded about 4 months now and havent had ANY meat (besides fish) since after my first fill. I dont remember where I saw it, but I think I ran across a post somewhere and saw that someone uses meat tenderizer. I bought some of that McCormicks Meat Tenderizer the other day but dont really know how to use it. Does anyone use this or anything like it? Does it really make the meat more tender? Please help! As much as I have developed a taste for fish, it would be nice to eat other types of meat once in a while.

:help:

I cannot speak to using meat tenderizer for tenderizing meat, but I've seen folks post about using it if they've got some food stuck, it helps break it down so they are no longer blocked. As does pineapple juice and also papaya enzyme pills (available at health food stores).
