Is anyone else outthere still struggling to eat meat protein.  I am still needing to loose about 40 lbs.  I have lost 120 and only bounced up and down 10lbs.  But I NEED to get weight off.  I cannot seem to go back on the whey protein drinks.  Vomiting.  And eating very moist meat like hamburger, chicken, fish, lamb is almost impossible.  I get pain from it.  I mean ballede up fist in my stomach pain.  Ihave been scoped, with MD care.  But still problems. 
any suggestions?
would do the surgery again in a minute.  not complaining but I would really like to see my weight where it should be.  For my brain, self image, Diabetes, and heart problems.
No the Diabetes did not go away with the surgery.  Doesnt always go away but much better
thanks for listening

Hi DJ,

I eat almost no meat either. When I do I mix it with lots of salsa to really water it down. I get all of my protein from milk products and my doctor says this is fine. I eat greek yogurt and cottage cheese every day, and I swear by Starbucks decaf, skinny vanilla lattes. I can easily get 70-80 grams of protein this way. Will this work for you?

I can eat small amounts of cheese-no milk, it goes straight thru me with pain.  Yogurt is also something I have to be careful with.  I could eat drink milk before the surgery so that is what changed it.  Thanks for the ideas.  improving moisture does not seem to help either.  i have trouble eating baby food also.  strange isntit.  And bread is no prob for me unfort.  hence too many carbs and too little protein. 
thanks again for sharing

Sorry that nothing that works for me works for you. Sometimees I need to be reminded of how lucky I am. Nuts work for me too and edamame. Do either work for you?

I have been having issues also. I had Talapia steamed and I put diced plum tomatoes and garlic on it . I was fine.Sometimes I can eat eggsalad(1 egg) .Tonight I had Tofu(cubbed) that I fried in Mcormacks Fried chicken seasoning and extra virgin olive oil. A couple of cubes only and boy was it good. I usually cannot eat anything fried .Eat the refried beans from Taco bell .Ya gotta get that protein in some how. I bought Greek yogurt today and will have it for lunch tomorow.I have gotten into weighing my food to make sure that I am NOT trying to eat too much.The whey drinks make me sick . I do like SF Instant breakfast and Isopure (the clear one) .I would love to have a hamburger but I am only 8 wks out.It amazes my how some folks post RNY can eat just about anything? Eat what you can tolerate  and see your Nutritionist.Good Luck and take care.
