For those that are post op what temperature do you take your steaks now? I was a medium rare to medium just depending on the cut. Now a medium rare is too undercooked and leads to digestion hell for me. This weekend I had a 6oz filet cooked medium and the difference in digestion was substantial.

I still eat mine rare or barely medium rare. No issues.

I don't eat beef any longer. I tried it once at about four months and had a major dumping incident. I generally stick with fish and chicken these days.

My stomach would be in hell from rare. It takes a very long time to digest and have to be particularly careful not to eat and drink with steak even more than with most foods.

same.

I can also eat it at medium just fine (don't prefer it at this temp, but will eat it when I accidentally overcook it this way)

I have tested this with my brother who also had the surgery - Here is my key hope it works for you

Sous Vide - Our favorite is skirt steak - I buy the a big bag from Restaurant Depot and take a long time cleaning it and removing all the fat. Then I beat the hell out of it and use a needle tenderizer. Then Marinade it with Lime juice pineapple and into the Sous Vide. let it cook for about 6 hours at 125 degrees. No flash it on the grill supper hot for one minute a side.

Key is it is tender and moist and will go down easy. The Sous Vide machine is the greatest machine i bought for cooking Protein keeps it moist and tender

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
