I am on week 7 and haven't tried steak yet but I absolutely love steak. Just wondering when others have introduced it back into your diet and if you had any issues.

Thanks-

I had steak at 11 weeks... Medium rare, very tender and delicious. Ate the filet part of the tbone. No problem. Had some steak again today that was marinated and crazy tender. My stomach loved it.

I was a huge steak fan. I am 14 weeks out. I've had ground beef and it was a bad experience. I'll probably will never eat beef again. More and more foods I've tried have gone on my NO list.

After two weeks, my surgeon pretty much left it up to me to decide what I could and couldn't tolerate and when. In my opinion, steak goes down much easier than chicken or pork. Probably because the higher fat content makes it softer. I do fine with it unless I get distracted and don't chew enough. Then it can get stuck just like other meats and may have to come back up before anything else can use the pipe. And you you can grease the skids with apple sauce or other low-carb sauces. Fat and calories don't really matter much at this stage because you'll be taking in less than 100 a day anyway. But keep those calories to Protein as much as possible. And as a steak lover you'll be happy to hear that my on-the-fly meal is a bag of Jerky. A 3-oz bag is a meal. Gotta watch the sodium, though. Enjoy the ride!

Somewhere around 3 months or so. No problems.

Funny how different foods are tolerated by different people. I can eat almost anything in small small portions, even bread! But for some reason steak and roast beef are not my friend. Pork, no worries, chicken, a breeze, fish goes down smoothly. But not beef! I can tolerate hamburger, but no other cut of beef is acceptable. I am 6 months out so maybe in a few months I will try steak again.

I have tried steak and or beef several times throughout my 2 years. and it hates me. It just does.....Only once was I able to eat a couple of bites and then the next time I tried it it was back to being stuck in my throat feeling....

Did I mention it just hates me!

Well, one thing good about beef steak not liking me.... I honestly don't miss it. It feels like a lump of coal in my tummy so why would I want that? So many other tasty things I can enjoy..... Like tuna steak! Ha!
