I have seen on this board that some people have tried small amounts of pasta and ground beef. Any trouble with these two? I had open RNY on April 28th and want to find some new food choices but have been nervous to try these two in particular. Thanks!

This was one of the first things I ate, my step-mom made me a beef stroganoff with ground beef it was yummy and went down fine. I ate it for four nights. Tiny portions of course and remember to chew well. Dianne

Hi.... I have only had it once and it went down well. Prior to having surgery, I learned a new way to cook ground beef that makes it very fine and not chunky. When you brown it add at least a cup or more of water and stir it frequently and it will make the ground beef really fine and then I drain it. Good luck.

I've tried ground beef and had no problems with it at all. In fact, I made a killer meatloaf today and I plan on eating on it for the next several days! As far as pasta goes, I've tried mac-n-cheese and fettucine noodles and neither one of them bothered my pouch. I just made sure I took very small bites, and chewed up the noodles really good.
