So I am a little over 4 weeks post op and was considering trying ground meet for dinner tonight with a bit of gravy to ensure moistness. Just curious before I try if anyone had difficulty with ground beef this early on?

Thanks.

I had ground beef and no problems I just out some reduced sugar ketchup on it.

Ground beef was the one meat I could tolerate besides fish when I first started on solid foods. I buy 96% lean ground beef and make a tiny taco salad (sans the tortilla bowl of course!) with a couple of tablespoons of the seasoned meat, a little bit of refried Beans,a sprinkling of shredded cheese and about half a teaspoon of sour cream. High Protein, good Fiber and yummy.

I'm almost a year and a half out and I still have trouble with any red meat. I try to avoid it completely. Pork also. For the most part, all I eat for meat is chicken, turkey, or tuna.

Hi I can't eat red meat so I use turkey meat and I gave no problems good luck by the way I'm 7 weeks post opt.

Seems to have gone well. Made a small burger in brown gravy. It was very moist and easy to eat.

Thanks for all the responses!

I don't have any issues with it as long as it's not too fatty. I eat the butterball turkey burgers all the time.

I like ground chicken over ground turkey. It seems more moist to me but that might be all in my head. :-)
