I am 2 months from my sleeve and the stargest thing has happned to me and I was wondering if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them? Before my surgery I lived on meat and potatoes, every meal had at least 2 servings of each. But know eating any type of meat makes me sick. And most of the time I bring it right back up. Even the smell of meat makes me sick. But for some reason I love vegtables. Its almost like I turned into a vegetarion without even knowing it. I know from my doctor meat was going to be the hardest thing to get back to eating but I honestly do nor even want to. Which brings me to my other concern without eating any meat how a, I supposed to get all my protein in? My doctor really is against using shakes after 30 days. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Greek yogurt has a concentrated number of protein grams.  In addition to the SF/ff sweet stuff....You can mix the plain with a little minced garlic, onion, fresh chives and dill, and use as a dip for your veggies (or as a dressing on salad).

cheese and beans can help too!  are there any meats that you can tolerate, like chicken or turkey?

I haven't eaten meat in something like 28 years.  I usually do have a protein shake for breakfast because I'm more thirsty than hungry in the morning and I love my cappuccino protein shakes.  Why would your doctor be against me enjoying a protein shake for breakfast?

Anyway, I can get enough protein without a shake, though I certainly couldn't have at just two months post op.  Early out, I did use shakes, but then I don't see anything wrong with that.  I also ate things like Greek yogurt, cheese, beans and veggie burgers.

Kelly -- do you use Syntax cappuccino shakes?

I am big on the Nectar brand and I bought the cappuccino thinking that I'd love it -- and I don't.  I'd be happy to send it to you if you could use it.  I feel badly that it is just sitting here wasted.  I know maybe it's weird since we don't "know" each other -- so I would understand if you passed.  But, if you'd use it, please feel free to msg me and I'll send it to you.

Score...lucky you.  I've been given protein powder through support group because, like here, many people can't get past the smell and taste of it.
