Howdy all! Im just about to reach my 3rd week Post-Op but I am curious to look ahead and see what kind of meats you all enjoy eating. Being from Texas everything is centered around meat [emoji23] (steaks, pork, chicken, fish) and I am looking forward to eating a nice lil helping of protein (when that time comes). Tell me your Go-To's! And even your avoidances!

P.S id really like to know of any steak experiences in particular!

WTF!?!?!
i'm about to have a meaty meltdown myself.
why did my man ask a question and get answers from mostly WOMEN!?!
i could have sworn the name of this forum is THE GUYS ROOM.

It just shows up in topics. Unless you specifically look at the bottom you wouldn't notice. I didn't even know the OP was a guy asking. Simmah down there, no harm meant.

Quick update!!! Today I was cleared for things like eggs etc. I ate two eggs (with no difficulty whatsoever) and they were so heavenly. Is this what heaven feels like? [emoji23]

I look forward to meat no end... but I'm a bit baffled by why people are so keen to breadcrumb it and fry it. That'll help your weight loss no end.

Because it taste better. A little extra virgin olive oil is good for you. 280 pounds lost and it has helped my weight loss to no end.

I needed a good 12-15 months post ops before I could truly enjoy steak again. And beef and chicken are still my go too main sources of protein, besides eggs. I was never a big seafood eater and I still am not. But I would say that about 49% of my protein is chicken, 25% pork (bacon/sausage/chops) and 25% (ground chuck/strip steak/tenderloin) and 1% beans/nuts/quionua sources.

On the mobile app it doesn't show which forum it's on. Plus I think our sleeves are gender neutral [emoji23]

Elk, ostritch, and buffalo when I can afford them. I was never a huge chicken fan and it seems to 'sit heavy' when I eat it so I don't do much of that. We do alot of shredded pork and beef pot roast though. Steak and tuna steaks also sits heavy, but I still eat it! Crab, lobster, and cod are my go to seafood choices. I can definitely get more of those down than beef or pork.

I love steak, but I've gotten to the point where I feel it's a huge waste. I can only eat about 2 ounces and I'm done. Usually, if I have a steak, I'll share it w/ my boyfriend. I always tell him "Be happy babe, I'm a cheap date". LOL! Chicken, Ostrich, and fish/seafood are my go-to's. Since I can't drink while eating, as someone said, make sure whatever protein you do eat, make sure it's very moist.

Steak is my go-to at most restaurants. It's usually portioned in such a way to let me take the rest home. I'll order carne asada a ot of places too and just leave the sides.

If you actually look, indeed it does.

I have no problems eating steak! Medium Rare Filet, Marinated London Broil and flank steak are my favorites. I also eat pork, crab, and shrimp without any problems. I found chicken to sit very heavy in my stomach, especially in the beginning. It needs to be very moist or dipped in hummus, guacamole or salsa. It still is the protein that makes me feel the restriction the most but I tolerate it much better now.

I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op and afraid of chicken. I tried it twice (too early) and threw up one of those times. The other I just had really bad chest pain. Seems to be how my body says, "Don't eat that."
