Ground beef

Has anybody eaten ground beef a month after sleeve ? I have a recipe for chili stuffed sweet potatoes and it calls for lean ground beef. I could probably swap it out for like turkey meat but I would honestly rather have the beef.

I have...Ground beef is about the only protein I can tolerate and I'm almost 6 months post

What does your plan say? I wasn't able to add ground beef until Week 7 post-op on my plan.

My plan had me on ground beef about 2 weeks out, but I don't eat it often because it feels super heavy in my pouch when I eat it, ground turkey helped better. Try it see how you tolerate it, but I'd suggest make it as moist as possible

Thank you so much ! [emoji177][emoji177]


Hmm it depends I'm 3 months out and sometimes ground beef makes me sick. I guess it depends on the person and their body, so I would go with turkey



I'm all good with mince except when it's dry ... omg last week I spent an hour with bad pains in my chest. Won't be doing that again for at least another week lol

I couldn't have it until 4 weeks out, but I agree...you want it to be as moist as possible. I make mini meatloafs in a cupcake pan. While they taste wonderful they can sit like a ton of bricks. I try and mix in some sour cream and/or picante sauce to give it a little more moisture. It's something that you want to definitely take your time eating. There are times where I can feel that it's going to sit heavy so I'll walk away and come back to finish it. Honestly ground beef is the only thing I've had so far that has been mildly difficult to eat.

Same here, well actually all beef has been rough for me to eat, ground is hit or miss, so I don't even bother most the time.


I've been cleared for ground beef since 3 weeks out and have had zero issues with it. I actually prefer ground beef to chicken or turkey as a protein because it goes down better.
