I began to have steak again at about 2 1/2 months although I was lifted of all dietary restrictions at 6 weeks. Lots of people can't do then but I have had no adverse reactions to anything I have tried.

Yes, it's as good as I remembered!

About 6-8 weeks. I like tender, juicy cuts anyway and don't ruin my steaks with over-cooking so I think that helped with me being able to tolerate it so early

I can't introduce red meat until 12 weeks

At about 7 weeks for me. I was not able to eat but maybe 3 oz but it was oh so good!

I think my 1st steak was at week 5 or 6. When I was back on regular foods. Steak never bothered me, chicken breast, however, still occasionally makes Frankensleeve grumble.

Frankensleeve - I love it!

6 1/2 weeks for me no problems... Yummm

same as others have said. About 1.5 to 2 months out. It fills me up quick, but chicken seems to stay with me much longer and keeps me full for a long time. Beef Jerky is my favorite thing ever now gives high protein lowish calorie and low fat.

I guess now I'm going to have to come up with a nickname for my sleeve! LOL!

We make our own jerky (we actually have commercial equipment because we make so much of it! ). I suspect that jerky will end up being a large part of my to-go arsenal.

I was wondering when it was safe to venture into eating steak since it's really not listed on my surgeon's eating plan. I think I may have found my next thing to try over the 4th or when we go out to eat . . . .

I had to wait 3 months for beef, pork & lamb. I'm right at that point, but awaiting a green light from my NUT with my follow up appt at the end of the week. Some folks have a hard time tolerating red meat after surgery, so my bariatric team prefers to go on the cautious side. I never thought that I could go this long without beef (especially not being a big poultry fan) but time goes by quickly. I'm probably going to start with some hamburger first & see how that goes.

y'all are making me jealous, my surgeon doesn't allow red meat until six months out (I love steak and I'm under two weeks out, I've got a long wait ahead!).

I could add beef and pork at 3 months. I tried steak and it didn't sit well. Tried it again at 4.5 months and I tolerated it just fine.
