Has anyone tried ground beef yet?
I did. It was lean and no matter how much I chewed I didn't feel like I could get it chewed enough. Tried a turkey meatball and went down like lead. I do well with dark meat chicken and the meats that are in the P3 packs, as well as all seafood. Honestly seafood has been the best.

Not ground beef, but had a couple of bites of NY strip that I made for my wife on valentine's day. It was very tender I chewed well with no issues. I start on regular food next week. I am looking forward to trying some shrimp.

I can’t do ground beef either. It messed me up when I did. I can also do chicken dark meat mainly thigh boneless and skinless.

I’ve had it all my life. I first put it in a pot with A lot (you’ll know why at the end of my comment) of normal Water and boil it for about an hour with high heat to clean it up from what’s inside and take the stuff that comes out out of the pot (add boiled water if you feel the water is less). Then I add my whole spices (cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, and cloves) 2-3 pieces from each. I also add sliced onions, Sliced tomatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced green pepper. Finally I add salt and then pressure cook it on high for about 50 minutes. Then take the meat out and prepare the broil on high and put the goat inside and then wash it with the goat broth from the pressure cook (which tastes really well by itself), so the meat doesn’t get burned and keep washing it with the broth. You can cook rice for the rest of the family with what’s left of the broth and take the meat from the oven put it over the rice and let them taste a very delicious meat over rice and you could eat your small piece of the meat. (This is an Arabic dish served in The middle east)
It sounds amazing. I love Arabic food.

That sounds great! I'll have to add it to my list of things I'm going to eat when I can eat anything:)

I've had ground turkey already but that was cooked down in Tomato sauce, maybe meatball form is to dry. Thanks!

God I would kill for a good filet, but I'm so worried I won't be able to stomach it anymore based on other posts, this gives me hope!

We make goat curry all the time. It’s so Tasty! I havent had it since surgery though. But it’s a dark meat and I’m sure it will sit pretty good if it’s cooked correctly and is tender.

1) I am so sore from the gym yesterday and I only did the baby weights on the arm machines lol! I had five wrist reconstruction surgeries (dislocated and rotated playing hockey) in the last 18 months and was finally cleared for lifting. I will never be able to use heavy free weights or barbells because I can't risk ruining my tendon grafts and the machines are controlled. It felt good but man I'm so weak!
2) Maybe the gym and working some muscles was what my body needed because the scale finally moved a wee bit (1 lbs or so).
3) I miss Motrin.
4) I miss wine.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
