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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
