Has anyone tried ground beef yet?
I did. It was lean and no matter how much I chewed I didn't feel like I could get it chewed enough. Tried a turkey meatball and went down like lead. I do well with dark meat chicken and the meats that are in the P3 packs, as well as all seafood. Honestly seafood has been the best.

Not ground beef, but had a couple of bites of NY strip that I made for my wife on valentine's day. It was very tender I chewed well with no issues. I start on regular food next week. I am looking forward to trying some shrimp.

I can’t do ground beef either. It messed me up when I did. I can also do chicken dark meat mainly thigh boneless and skinless.

I’ve had it all my life. I first put it in a pot with A lot (you’ll know why at the end of my comment) of normal Water and boil it for about an hour with high heat to clean it up from what’s inside and take the stuff that comes out out of the pot (add boiled water if you feel the water is less). Then I add my whole spices (cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, and cloves) 2-3 pieces from each. I also add sliced onions, Sliced tomatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced green pepper. Finally I add salt and then pressure cook it on high for about 50 minutes. Then take the meat out and prepare the broil on high and put the goat inside and then wash it with the goat broth from the pressure cook (which tastes really well by itself), so the meat doesn’t get burned and keep washing it with the broth. You can cook rice for the rest of the family with what’s left of the broth and take the meat from the oven put it over the rice and let them taste a very delicious meat over rice and you could eat your small piece of the meat. (This is an Arabic dish served in The middle east)
It sounds amazing. I love Arabic food.

That sounds great! I'll have to add it to my list of things I'm going to eat when I can eat anything:)

I've had ground turkey already but that was cooked down in Tomato sauce, maybe meatball form is to dry. Thanks!

God I would kill for a good filet, but I'm so worried I won't be able to stomach it anymore based on other posts, this gives me hope!

We make goat curry all the time. It’s so Tasty! I havent had it since surgery though. But it’s a dark meat and I’m sure it will sit pretty good if it’s cooked correctly and is tender.

1) I am so sore from the gym yesterday and I only did the baby weights on the arm machines lol! I had five wrist reconstruction surgeries (dislocated and rotated playing hockey) in the last 18 months and was finally cleared for lifting. I will never be able to use heavy free weights or barbells because I can't risk ruining my tendon grafts and the machines are controlled. It felt good but man I'm so weak!
2) Maybe the gym and working some muscles was what my body needed because the scale finally moved a wee bit (1 lbs or so).
3) I miss Motrin.
4) I miss wine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
