Can Anyone Handle Steak?



Recommended Posts

Tiny bites? Rare? Or should I not even try?

I can. very tender. small bites. In fact, I had filet mignon the other night, a simple 4 oz steak grilled with some veggies. Was good! I think that a tougher cut might have been a problem. I just know to cut the pieces really small.

Good luck!

Hmmm steak is one of my fav foods. I'm hoping I can have a few bites here and there. I like it almost rare. I hope if I take out the center of filet and cut off the crust.

I did a few days ago, but it was real tender. I was scared before to try it!

I have not had a problem so far. I make sure though it's a tender cut like filet, ribeye, or flank steak and that it's cooked med rare.

No problems what so ever. I just am not a red meat fan. Not due to moral/ethical issues; we just didn't eat it growing up (too expensive).

Granted I don't have the restriction yet that I want (3.5 ccs in my band) but I can still eat steak. As others have said I have to cut it really small and I have realized that it is pretty heavy meaning I can't even eat a whole cup of it but I have had it a couple of times since being banded. It's kinda nice that I can make it last 3 meals ;).

Steak seems to be the only thing I cannot tolerate. I tried to eat a tiny bite one time and I felt like it just sat there stuck. I didn't get sick but I was very uncomfortable all night. So I won't ever go there again!!!

No prob with small bites of steak or lamb, but it is hit or miss with ground beef. Go figure.

I have 6cc's on my band and I can eat everything I want (not that I do)...but I'm actually starting to worry...

Steak is my weakness but I have it once in a while, way too many calories.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
