Kendra, I my surgery the day before you and I drink 1 glass of skim milk with a Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast every morning. I the evening I sometimes do the same. My surgeon said this is a great source of protein and calcium. Hope this helps. Delana

I have the same problem!Why don't you try ground beef with chili powder garlic powder and onion powder. i would say use taco seasoning but it has carbs in it and that's not where I want to get mine from! Anyway FINELY shred some lettuce. Chop some tomato (just the outside no seeds and a bit of finely chopped green pepper.) Mix that all together and add just a tiny bit of plain yogurt. That's the only way I can eat meat. If the chuncks of meat are too big, pulse just the cooked meat in a food processor. Like I said that's the only kind of meat I can do. It's yummy too. Fell free to email me and I can send you some recipes I have. Annie

My surgeon told me that meat is one of the toughest but try in the middle of the day or when the sun is shining(I know it sounds silly but it works) they started me on lunch meats instant ill

I have found that I can eat Ezekiel Bread and I love it. It is quite dense since there is no flour in it just the grains. It comes from the receipe that is listed in the Bible in the book of Ezekiel. You can find this bread in most heath food stores I buy it at Trader Joes where it costs half the price. Each slice has 4 grams of protien. Try a piece of toast with natural peanut butter on it and you have a meal with 13 grams of protien! I find it hard to finish the whole peice since it's so dense, but boy it will keep you full all day.

Hi, I had WLS, the RNY on July 15, 2003 and I cannot eat chicken, turkey, eggs, lettuce, cabbabge etc.) Keep trying them every 10 days or so, I have tried finely scrammbled hamburger mixed with spaghetti sauce and can eat a small amount of that, but that is it for meat. I've tried some tuna, but I have to add so much mayo, then it is to heavy in my stomach. Refried beans, vegetable soups, protein bars, cottage cheese, crackers, tortia chips, dried fruits are some of my staples at this point. Down 58 pounds. Good luck, hope the meat thing changes in time for all of us.
