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.

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
