No meat

[mckenzie 66]

Okay so anyone else have a complete intolerance post op with any kind of meat. My pouch doesn’t like it and I don’t care for it either. I prefer veggies and that’s about it. I’m not really getting any Protein in other than the drinks which my program wants me off of. I’m over a month post op right now.

Six weeks is still early. I'd just be patient and see if it becomes easier to tolerate.

Why does your program want you off shakes? I still rely on them at 6 months because I have a lot of restriction. My program has no issue with that.

They consider them a slider food

Well they are ... but I don't think anyone drinks them because they taste great. I think for most people it's just a way to meet their Protein goals.

I'd have a problem if my program had an issue with Protein Drinks, as long as they were low cal, high protein options.

I may just do them anyways. I am tired all the time and it’s because I’m not getting anything.

I would. Getting your Protein in is far more important than worrying if it's a slider food, IMO.

Could you get your Protein from plants also? Beans and Lentils might work since you already seem to be eating a plant-based diet.

As far as me, I need the protein drinks to get enough protein calories in. For right now, I'd be totally fine "eating" only them for a year. My desire for food has virtually vanished, a benefit I hoped I got before surgery.

"Sliders". If you lived in the Midwest, they have a different meaning. For one, you have to get them at a castle painted white! Pre-surgery, I took a co-worker there. I warned him not to eat more than 2 because his body would not like him afterward. He didn't want to feel like a wimp next to my half dozen, so he got 4......The next day..."Oh my gosh, how can you do that and live?" -- "Titration my friend, had about 30 years to ramp up!". Scary thing was my boss put down a dozen or 18 once. Granted he's a very tall guy, but wow. It was actually a tradition whenever I had to fly into Detroit. Land, get rental car, immediately get white castle, then go to hotel.

If I can tolerate meat later on, it might actually be a good choice, so long as I didn't eat the bun. There probably isn't more than 1.5 ounces of beef in that patty.

Yeah you are right about White Castle, they are v the sneaky,type of Sliders. Midwest Joke
How can you,tell a White Casle fiend?
Answer- They have 5 little holes in. their 😝 tongue!
Now to explain to you in benighted areas. White Castle's meat patties are fashioned with 5 little hole so they cook quickly. Now they have expanded to a few. other sandwiches, onion rings and things that go well with those little chopped onion- blessed critters. They are also known as "cab driver steak" when you're driving a cab they are cheap and quick. Don't take much time away from hauling fares.
How do I seem an expert on White Castle? I lived in Columbus for 10 years, about half of those within a few blocks of the 1st at the corner of N High St and W Dodridge, sad to say it is no longer, like the song "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" but White Castle lives on. For the desperate you can buy them frozen at Kroger's and Wal-Mart. And alas where I live in Mount Vernon, 48 miles NE we DO NOT HAVE a White Castle. We go to Delaware maybe 25-29 miles WSW when we want fresh and don't want to go into Columbus.🍔

Can you do the qreek yogurt. How about fat free refried Beans with an egg scrambled in it? You can add the un flavored whey Protein to everything too.
