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!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
