Filet mignon!

[jfcajr 123]

I started beef yesterday and filet mignon went down easy. Can't believe I'm almost 2 months post op and I'm down 54 pounds!

That's great, how many ounces were you able to eat?

I had a pretty easy time with the filet cut early on post-op, too. I usually just have steak when I eat out (mostly on work trips these days), but it is nice to have it as an option every now and then.

One of my favorite things to eat now. Love it!

I found fillet on sale at my grocer. About $5.00 each! And they are big, not those tiny medallions!

We are eating well tonight!

They are delicious and tender. I was able to eat about 4 ounces

Excited, I'm planning on having one for my birthday in September. Congratulations on the weight loss!

You could eat 4 oz of steak at one time. Wow. I can't even do that at 7+ months out.

My program doesn't even let us have beef at all the first six months, too rough on the stomach they claim.

Bah! Just chew it real good.

That sounds like a ton of meat at one time

I wasn't allowed steak until 6 months either. The day I hit 6 months I was in the grocery store like an addict in a drug den. Give me all the steak.

I can still have a tough time with steak.

It is not worth risking twisting your sleeve just to have steak early but to each his own.

I love steak too, in fact a bone-in ribeye at Morton's next week is going to be my final real meal before I go under the knife on the 22nd, but I have no intention of messing with my program once I have the surgery. There'll be time for steak later on.

My plan specifically permits steak at 8 weeks out. Beef is permitted earlier as long as it's crock pot tender.

cheese is proving harder on my sleeve than beef. Lol.
