Butterflyhigh 504 Posted June 16, 2014 Being given 202 lbs of grain fed free-range freezer beef one week after VSG. I own a farm and the farmer I lease the cropland to gives me a 1/4 beef every June. It is the best tasting, cut-with-a-spoon-tender, out of this world beef you've ever eaten. My favorite food is steak and there are pounds and pounds of it to pick up Wednesday. Irony...you can kiss my ***. haha 8 Jersrose43, Ladybandito, terrydumont46 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted June 17, 2014 Me too. I was eating steak at one month. Grass fed is the best, so I hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsto 2,925 Posted June 17, 2014 My doctor didn't allow steak until 12 months out. Slab meat was the last thing to be added back in the post-op diet progression. Now, I will have steak once in a blue moon, but all the chewing gets arduous. The first few bites are fabulous! But as much as I used to love steak, I don't gravitate to it anymore. 1 Butterflyhigh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted June 17, 2014 at least you have a freezer...and it's not homemade ice cream or something like that! ... that's a sweet deal you've got there... I love BEEF...you will enjoy it soon enough! 1 Butterflyhigh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparklingbeauty53 202 Posted June 17, 2014 It may not seem lucky right now but it is. Tender beef is the name of the game! I can't do chicken very well and tender beef I can. My doctor prefers a 6 months wait for beef but changed it since I have had chicken issues. 2 Butterflyhigh and BigGirlPanties reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rena's got this 274 Posted June 17, 2014 I eat steak, no problems at all. I started eating steak when I was able to move up from soft foods. In fact, my meals consist mostly of meat. Sometimes when I'm not so hungry, I'll drink a Premier Protein chocolate drink, but I prefer to get my Protein directly from the source. I envy you!!! 2 Butterflyhigh and BigGirlPanties reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCsMamaBear 58 Posted June 17, 2014 We raise grass-fed beef, and have multiple freezers FULL of the stuff. It's AWESOME, and I fully intend to enjoy it again (someday)! It truly is so much more tender than commercial beef, IMO. 3 jennyinky, BigGirlPanties and Butterflyhigh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger Snaps 1,323 Posted July 13, 2014 I was also able to start beef at week 4 and I've eaten hamburger meat and some thin-strip steak without any problems. I do put chili on it or maybe dip in fat free mayo if needed to make it a little more moist to get down easily. I'm thinking of steak now.... yum... ginger 1 Butterflyhigh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forsythia 882 Posted July 14, 2014 I had a steak taco last night. In fact if ever there is a chance to have steak I will eat it. Once I was back on the general diet there were no restrictions on beef. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niknari06 0 Posted July 23, 2014 I envy you all.. I tried steak for the first time after surgery, I was so afraid if not chewing good enough.... So I chewed and chewed til it was just nasty steak will be missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
