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

I could eat tender steak at 4-5 weeks. You can enjoy it soon!

I eat steak about 2-4 x a month with no problems , im about 2. 5 years banded. If you ever want to send some my way, feel free !

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.
