The definition of Irony...



Recommended Posts

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 ***.

Me too. I was eating steak at one month. Grass fed is the best, so I hear.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

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. :)

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...

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.

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
