Steak?

[Bndtoslv 292]

I eat steak all the time starting at about 6 weeks.

I eat steak all the time! Had New York strip for dinner tonight!

I love steak and haven't tried it yet. I'm 2 moths out and can't wait to eat it. Although I've heard alot of people have issues with it.

I have been eating steak since 3 months post op. Tiny bites and chew very well. I haven't puked at all since surgery, I am 4.5 months out.

Yup in about 6 months. And trust me when I say wait the full six months. I was trying to eat beef 6/7 weeks post-op and got super sick and in the hospital. Give your body the time it needs to heal fully before putting your stomach under that amount of stress. Also, cause I know at least one person in here has already said it, follow whatever plan your doctor and nutritionist has planned out for you. They are your experts and if they are telling you not to try and eat something now, then its for good reasons. Don't let your cravings win over this, cause trust me the consequences are so not work it.

I'm currently on full liquids, 5 days post op. I know Protein is the priority---so does this mean eventually steak will be able to be consumed, even if it's just a couple bites? I can't imagine eating it now, but I assume if it's tender enough there won't be a problem? (Can you tell I'm craving to CHEW on something? Haha)

I had a lovely 2 oz filet for dinner tonight, and I'm 7 weeks post-op. I cooked it in a cast Iron skillet to get a nice crust and it was medium rare. So yummy! Served with a garlic Parmesan spaghetti squash. My favorite post-op meal so far!

That looks delicious.

So glad to hear I will still be able to eat a small piece of steak after surgery.

Don't miss the best part, you can do great grass fed high quality...when you are only doing 4 ounces at a time you can afford it.

Oh, satisfy the steak craving by putting roasts in the crock pot and make it very tender.

I crave steak now sometimes. Feels good to eat meat that isn't friggin' chicken!! I tried it for the first time at 4 months with no problems. I ordered a ribeye cooked medium. Nice and tender. Of course I barely at any of it but my husband sure loved the leftovers for lunch the next day :-)

I think I waited until about 8 or 9 weeks post op. I tried a filet. I have had filet, ribeye and a good sirloin since then. I eat my steak really rare. Come to think of it I like my fish that way too. Yum, sushi.

Quite honestly....I cannot wait to have a bite of steak! ????

I tried thin steak 2 days ago for the first time. I think I freaked myself out and only ate 2 bites for fear it wouldn't sit well. I didn't have issues with the 2 bites but I think I'll wait a little longer to really try eating it.
