Anyine else having a problem with meat?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 9 weeks out and cannot tolerate it. I was cleared for fish after wk 1, chicken after wk 3, and pork and beef after 6. So I've had several weeks of attempting it in many different forms. The best way I can describe it is I get a knawing, nauseous feeling when I eat it. Not a satisfying feeling whatsoever and several times its just came back up! Yes its always been moist, I chew and chew to applesauce consistency, and wait between bites. Now its getting to the point of just smelling it or preparing mysef to eat it, makes my mouth Water like I'm going to vomit. This is just REALLY strange to me. Before vsg I was a HUGE meat eater and now I feel like 'wth is wrong with me!?'

I struggle with eating meat also. I think it just doesn't breakdown enough to comfortably pass through. I stick with shredded or ground meats only and they seem to work fine.

I cannot tolerate any dry meat. Gravy or Condiments must be slathered on generously or up it comes within minutes

And no matter what meat it is, it must be chewed well preferably starting with a small bite.

Skin ( like fried chicken) is tasty but the hardest to digest no matter what. I eat it very sparingly

I used have the same problem with chicken. For some reason, it just causes Frankensleeve to tie up in knots. I didn't really have an easy time with any form of Protein that wasn't ground up or put through a food processor during my 1st 6 months post-op. Now, at 18 months, most any protein is fine - except chicken, Frankie still doesn't like rotisserie chicken sometimes. :-(

Hopefully its just a phase. And chicken used to be my staple in life. I could eat it at every meal! I have tried ground meat also, turkey meatloaf, chili...its still a no go. Cant do lunchmeat either. Just seems ALL meat makes me sick.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
