meats and cheese taste awful, anyone else feel like this?

I have a bad time with meat (pork, fish, chicken, turkey) and cheese, they just taste terrible. I haven't eaten beef since my doctor says no beef until 6 months. Since we're all at about the same stage, I'm wondering if other people are having problems with it too? I've been drinking 2 protein shakes daily so I'm getting my protein, veggies and fruit taste better than ever. I always liked meat before my surgery but now it's tastes metallic and sometimes even the smell makes me gag. I used to LOVE cheese now I can't even swallow a bite of it, I can eat an occasional egg but they don't taste really good either. Sometimes I wonder if it's all in my head??? I have my 6 months check up next week, so I'll definitely be asking my doc about it but just wanted some input from you guys too. Wanda 250/173/135

I have just recently been able to eat chicken...every time I tried it for months I would get sick! I think for me its all in my head but since I do not like to feel sick ...I stay away from it. I would talk to your doc and ask what eles you can eat. Maybe beans? what about tofu? good luck! Lisa 371/341/232/140

I can eat just about any meat or cheese but struggle with chicken (probably too dry). Have you tried peanuts or beans. I lived on beans the first 3-4 months. Sarah

My taste has changed a lot. I never liked cold cheese before, now I love it. I can't eat chicken - it will NOT go down. I can't eat scrambled eggs. I don't have any problem with lean beef. I don't like nosugar pudding any more - used to love that stuff. What does taste good is crunchy things like soy crisps, nuts, crackers, but I gotta watch my carbs. Lynne

hi wanda: i had that right after surgery. i thought i had heard it was from the anesthesia - that metallic taste. that went away after about a month. since then, i've been able to eat almost anything that i've tried. i struggle with beef if it's not really juicy (cooked in a crockpot). have to choke down steak and hamburger. and i won't even touch sugar - it's a trigger for me. it might all be in your head, wanda, but i kinda doubt it. keep trying. one day it'll be a problem and the next day it'll be ok. good luck. you're doing really well. hugs dorthe

Try organic. Foster farms and the like. It is much better, also soy is great. Tofu, and Edamame. Also, Morning star meals are good, and they have all the stuff you miss, with not a stitch of meat. GL2U Robin 315/207/160-190?
