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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
