Strange outcome after surgery

My surgery was Oct 2005 -- I still can't eat beef, ham or chicken. No eggs. My protein still comes from protein drinks or a bit of tuna once a week. I woke up from surgery and can hardly LOOK at red meat without throwing up. In the grocery store, I put my hand at the side of my face to walk down certain aisles so I don't have to look at the stuff. I was a big meat eater before the surgery. No more. It all looks like maimed animals to me. What happened??????? Sheryl Tilley 330/150/150

That is definitely a strange outcome. I have no food aversions, either now or before surgery, so don't have any suggestions about what might have caused your aversion. Are you able to get in enough protein from the protein drinks and tuna? Do you have the same reaction to fish and shellfish? Have you done any research about how vegetarians get sufficient protein after WLS? Since you are so limited in terms of animal-based proteins, that information might give you some additional options to help meet your daily protein needs. My condolences on having this reaction to most animal-based proteins. I was a happy omnivore before surgery and still am - Good luck on your continuing journey - Kellie
