Well, I hope all of you are doing better than I am.... I am writing here to vent I just need to get everything out.... Well, I am married to the most wonderful husband in the world. About 3 weeks ago, 1 week after my surgery he was arested. He is an illegal immigrant. We had filed all the papers for him to become a citizen over a year ago and our case is still "pending" Now they are trying to deport him..... This is so crazy, we have the most beautiful little girl and our family has been torn apart. I had to leave my daughter in Florida, and return to NJ to work for about a month before I can move to Florida. I work nights so it is impossible for me to find a sitter.... On top of all my personal problems, I have to call my surgeon on monday. I can not eat ANY meat!!!! I have been surviving on protein shakes, mashed potatoes, cheese and beans. Am I the only one who can't eat meat? I have tried it soft and pureed, no matter what I cant keep it down.... I am losing weight no problem there, but I need to eat protein!!!!! I don't know, I sort of think this surgery was a mistake.... or maybe it was just at the wrong time... I know I cant turn back now but with all the stress in my personal life and the getting sick I feel like kicking myself in the butt for doing this!!!! Please keep me and my family in your prayers, We need any help we can get.... thanks love you guys!!! Gina

hugs hun, so sorry you are going through this, no wise words, just hugs, take care of yourself, i have no problems with meat unless it is too dry, make sure to get protein shakes to keep up your protein and it helps with fluid intake too, so sorry you are having a rough go, chin up sweetie

Regina~I know things will work out with your personal situation at home.

I am over two years out and still can not eat much meat.I can only tolerate about 1/8 cup of ground hamburger.I still get my protien from shakes and cheese.
All my labs are perfect except for Iron*understandable*I have now been anemic for almost a year.

I have delt with this for a while,if you need to pm someone who still really can't "Eat,Eat" I am your girl.

Take Care of you and do what you have to do...life will fall in place.
