Side effects of Wls
on 11/2/14 5:27 am
I have a bypass and love steak and pork but I personally hate chicken. In all the years since my bypass I can't recall anyone who couldn't eat meat. I suppose it could happen to anyone in any surgery. Wls is not an exact science.

I've known a couple people that had difficulty tolerating meat after RNY. It's not common at all, though.

I can eat pretty much anything, a couple of foods give me trouble.. pork chops (always seem to stick, easy to dry out I think, I stopped trying), broccoli needs to be overcooked or tiny, I prefer to skin cucumbers. That's about it.

So you never know. My sister can't eat chicken, I love it we both had RNY. Sometimes stuff like that happens.
I had the sleeve - the only meat I have issues with is chicken breast and that's just because it can be dry. I have no issues with any other animal parts.

I had RNY in 2010. I have never had any trouble eating any type of meat, as long as it isn't dry. Steak has always been my favorite meat, but lately I've noticed I have more trouble swallowing it than I used to. Not sure if it's because I'm getting older or if it has anything at all to do with the surgery. I just cut it into smaller pieces and chew a bit more; however, I'm not inclined to eat it as often as I used to.

I am 10 years out and I don't eat meat. In the beginning it was that I could not eat it as it made me dump. As time went on I could tolerate it, but I didn't like the texture of meat. Today I can eat it if I want to, but I have found I don't particularly care for it anymore. I do eat fish and shell fish. Today the only foods I cannot eat are eggs, white rice and white pasta, other than these I am good to eat whatever I want.

Meat made you dump? I can honestly say I've never heard that one.
True dumping is caused by a sudden release of excess sugars into the small intestine. Meat isn't known for it's sugar content so now I'm curious. Had you maybe marinated the meat in something containing sugar or was it cooked/presented in some type of sugar-based sauce?
At almost six years out I dump now much worse than I did earlier out. If there is a way to make meat cause dumping I'd really appreciate hearing about it so that I can avoid such a situation.
