I know this sounds weird, but it true. I am so frustrated with my food choices, that I either don't eat or I eat cereal and stay in bed.  I thought that after being a month out, eating would be easier. But my stomach is even more picky.
Example: it took me all day to eat a turkey wing; which was cut in half. I ended up  because it got stuck. I chewed and chewed but still it wouldn't go down.  I had to wait about  2 hours to try again.  Y'all I really wanted my meat. I miss meat so much. Finally on the second go at it. It stayed down.
It is is always like this when I get meat.


I'm trying to stay away from bread and rice and potato's
The were my friends and now I have to break the friendship.  It is so hard to learn what to eat now and how to prepare a new menu.
I am soul food junky and carbs are my crack.
I get so frustrated, I eat shredded wheat with silk milk, just about every day. .........I don't know what to do (well, yes I do)
I need to learn new habits but how and where do I start.
Maybe and recipe book?

that is where you need to go for recipes. Almost anything you want she has a Low fat/sugar/carb recipe for it. I can't really eat chicken or turkey but I can do a meatball, italian (turkey)sausage and other meats like that. The are mostly processed and not so hard to digest. I have problems with eggs too. I can keep them down but they no longer taste good to me. have you tried tuna with some light mayo, spices or mustard? I can do that too.

Thanks for site info.

I am so sick of ground beef, anything that consist of ground beef I am just sick of.
Eggs are horrible  now I don't know why. I use to love eggs, but now yuck. And I can't do leftovers. I don't understand it. I have only had one good meal since WLS and that was last week. Salmon with a salad that I made at home.  Now that was. But I don't want to have that everyday.
I can't wait to learn new ideas

Oh, you can eat ground beef.  I ate a meatloaf lean cuisine and it did not sit well with my stomach, so now I just eat ground turkey.

The carved chicken breast is a staple in my diet now.  I throw 2 oz in a pan with some green and red peppers and red onions, add in some Fat Free Zesty Italian salad dressing and heat it over high heat for a couple minutes.  Then I put it on a plate and put some Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese on top!!  IT IS AWESOME!  The chicken is SO tender!!  YUMMY!

It seems to me like you are eating " too heavier" *( if that is a word) foods at  this stage.  I was pureeing my foods in the blender after coming off of liquards, try this and see if it helps...............

I know exactly how you feel I had my surgery on the 31st  of DEC and I hate almost all food and how food smells. The one thing I like to eat is beans, I found they are easy to digest and they have protein in them.

If you're willing to experiment by eating meat-like products, Lightlife, Yves, Morningstar Farms/Boca, and a few others.  They're even higher in protein than meat, healthier, most are very moist and tasty (as long as you don't expect it to taste like the "real thing").

As far as the meat I would try a crockpot!!!  I remember somneone having a similar problem and many suggested that.  One thing I do is take my time at the grocery stores fingd new flavors and replicate them.  I love meat also so I switch it up.  I  do not eat typical breakfast food sometimes I eat tuna for breakfast lol.  Do not be so hard on yourself reach out to your doc for tips!!!!
