Sick of meat
I enjoy doing big cooks & buying in bulk, so this is a learning process for me. Right now I'm raising 25 chickens to butcher... and I don't even hardly eat chicken anymore. Explain that. Old habits die hard & slow.
Current weight: 170 lbs.
Once I reach goal, this cow will be killed & eaten... 2 ounces at a time.
Total includes 56 lbs. lost on 2-month low carb pre-op diet. Start date 9/13/10.
I think I'm going to buy some steaks this weekend and eat those for a while. It is hard to eat 150g of protein a day with the sleeve. That's alotta meat. I'm going to have to go back to at least one shake if I don't want all that meat, but they don't stay with me for very long which is why I prefer food.
eta: It's really just chicken I'm sick of! I'd chop one's head off (is that how you "butcher" them?), that's how sick I am of chicken. :~)
I eat a crapload of beef tenderloin. It's expensive, but WTH... it's good, and I can't eat too much of it.

Beef is high in iron & lots of other good stuff.

You must embrace the pig, pork goes down real good, especially pulled pork with BBQ sauce....To make is extra squishy, I put it in the crock pot. After it cooks all day, I cool it down, then pull it apart and discard the shoulder bone. Next, I add some BBQ sauce. It's super soft, moist and tender.
At least give it another chance!
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

I love seafood (especially salmon) but my kids hate it so I don't make it too often because then I have to cook two dinners. Argh. Tonight I'm eating tilapia and they'll have chicken nuggets, so I do it sometimes but not too often. I think I'll do salmon next week though. The fats are good for us!
