So I was reading through the forums and I see different people react differently to steak. Some people get it down fine, while for others it's a big no no.

I'm a month post op and so far I have been able to eat anything I tried so long as I chewed it well. I'm going to try a small piece of steak and see how it goes.

My question for those of you who do eat steak. Does it make a difference how well you have your steak done? I usually eat my steaks rare or medium rare, but I'm wondering if a better cooked steak might go down easier.

Please share your experiences. Thank you!

My Doctor told me no well done steak. Rare or med. rare Enjoy!!

I do best with the more tender cuts, such as filet. I also do better with less done as far as cooking. Med-rare to rare. Well-done and I do not get along so well.

I am very careful with steak and cut it smaller than any other foods I eat. I also chew, chew, chew!

I eat my steak rare and I have never had a problem with it. The longer you cook it the more of the fats are released and the dryer and tougher it will be.

I'm glad you posted this b/c the dietician told me I would NEVER eat steak again. This post gives me hope:) Steak is one of my favorite main courses and I like it medium well.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I cooked myself a medium rare steak last night. I cut it up in to small pieces and chewed it well.

It went down fine - no problems!

I did feel full after just a few bites though

Medium-rare, and I'm fine. Has to be a tender cut though. Veggies on the other hand.....
