I eat it with no problem. Depending on what I am making, I will use either 4% or 10% hamburger..

I can eat a burger, but I've only got 3.75 cc in my band. I think it varies based on your band adjustments

There isn't much I can't eat. I do have a problem with snow peas, even if I destring them. And I avoid most steaks except for filet mignon at home.

Ground beef is pretty much the only type of beef I can eat. It has to be in chili, Soup, taco salad and other ways like that. I can not just eat a hamburger patty.

I can eat it fine...but easier ground up vs a hamburger. But, I think the reason there is it is easier to take a small bite with a fork, versus a bite!

I can eat Ground beef/Ground Turkey with no problems. I cannot eat chicken though. Every time I eat chicken, by the 2nd bite, I am miserable and end up throwing it up. I stick to ground turkey since its much lower in fat and calories and in general healthier for you (Plus, at the stores around me, its actually quite a bit cheaper than the lean ground beef)

I have been scared to try chicken or beef.. I have been sticking to fish. I love baked and grilled salmon.

I do eat ground beef, but I also get it at a local meat cutting shop, so it's almost gristle free, very high end beef....got it for 2.20 per pound. I was able to pan cook and grill it. Just chew really well and small bites, I even cook it a little pinker.

well, my experience was .... my first solid Protein was fish... not successful at all. then i tried beef burgers, thin and no herbs or onions etc. it was beautiful. no problems at all with it.... so it was successful with me. the fish is more of a problem. perhaps im not cooking it right?? i did poach it but it was very dry i thought.. and yuk. anyway the burgers were great, but as i said, they were just plain beef, nothing added at all.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
