I am still having issues when I eat meat!  After the first few bites I can't eat anymore... I have to wait about 3-5 min and then I can eat again.  I usually get side tracked and forget to go back to the meat... then I am hungry and go for the carbs/something sweet to soothe my stomach.  I am gaining weight and frustrated... I am bored with meals, nothing sounds good! Any ideas?? I have come this far and don't want to go back to pre WLS weight!

My wife and I had surgery on the some day !! I can eat meat and she can not ...she uses ground meat for all meals and has no problem with it !! But make sure you eat your protein first to get the full feeling we all are looking for and remember no drinking for 30 minutes after meals 
I have 30 lbs to go and I am at goal :)

Sorry this has taken me so long to respond!   After writing the initial post, I found out that I have a gluten AND dairy allergy.  When I remove those foods from my diet I am able to eat meat!  I am feeling a lot better!  I am still struggling to overcome a sugar addiction.  I have cut way back!  I eat fruit, and SF jello... but sugar is still calling my name! Any ideas for that? My diet basically consists of meat, veggies, and fruit!  Congrats on your success!
