Is having filet mignon for Breakfast too pretentious??? I think NOT! ;)

I've had to change our red meat eating to only tenderloin(filet mignon) type beef. It's lower in calories, easier to chew but costs three times as much as sirloin.

Filet is the only steak I can chew. And because we now eat such small amounts the price isn't a killer anymore. My husband doesn't eat meat so it's just me to worry about.

Enjoy it any time of the day or night .

I feel like Pavlov's dog. I try to buy tenderloin when it's in the discount bin at the store so I'm not paying $15/lb for the stuff. I have 3-4 packages of tenderloins in the freezer and after seeing this topic this morning I got one out for dinner tonite. Yum, with a glass of cabernet!!

How well do they hold up upon defrosting? I don't wanna put the other two in the freezer for fear it will somehow compromise the final product. I never buy more than one, for that same exact fear, but my 10 year old loves steak and I bought three.

I have a food Saver machine and have had no problems with defrosting anything. It is a wonderful investment for everyone. I make large quantities and freeze them in the bags into the size portions. I defrost in the refrigerator over night on in the sink filled with cold Water.

Not as good as fresh but still better than a sirloin. And I also like rib eyes but sometimes they're a little too tough for my band. And, it's colder than Alaska here and grilling(the only way to cook steak) is too painful.

I watch on PBS Cook's Country and they say to put corn starch and sea salt on all steaks and wrap in plastic wrap and put in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then put the steak into a hot pan with a little oil and sear the steak and then transfer into the oven until done. They taste like a high end steak house. The oven is around 400 degrees. I use a meat thermometer to check the temp.

I've never heard of the cornstarch. Do you know what the purpose for that is?

As far as freezing is concerned, I wrap them in the white paper first, then try to seal them with as little air in a freezer bag, as possible. Thaw and grill with a little adobo and garlic salt, cracked pepper... Yum!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
