when did you have your steak again



Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

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.

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!).

      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!
