I just wondered if anyone else is having trouble eating red meat. I can eat chicken, mince and fish with no problems at all, I can even have ham...but red meat (steak) just doesn't go down and I end up bringing it back up. I have always loved my meat so not being able to eat it is hard. Anyone else?

I just ate a small steak for supper which was very tender. It didnt get stuck going down and I thought I had no problems. However, within a half hour I felt it start to come back up. I dont think I will be eating steak anytime again soon!

My Nutr. told me I probably won't be able to eat steak/roast beef for at least a year if at all.

I can't eat steak either. Even chicken is hard for me. I can do hamburger fine.

surprisingly i can eat steak and not chicken or eggs.

the steak must not be overcooked or cooked too well.

i think i could eat steak about 6 months after being banded

This is exactly what happens to me!!! I enjoy it going down, but it just doesn't stay there LOL....I miss my meat...:wink2:

I'm so glad it's not just me!

I use my slow cooker a lot. Red meat done in that is great.

It has to be perfectly cooked, nice, rare and moist, which I cant manage, lol. I am not a good meat cook.

things like lamb chops or steak on the barbie, I can eat it but its such a slow and careful process that I just dont enjoy them anymore.

Roasts are OK, but not overcooked. The only steak I can eat and enjoy is if we go to Hogsbreath - those are SO tender.

I use the slow cooker a lot - I tend to even cook a leg of lamb in there, or roast beef, because whilst it doesnt brown up and LOOK as appealing as from the oven, its very tender.

And we make lots of stuff with mince. I made these amazing pork meatballs in a green curry sauce the other week, yum.

MMmmm that sounds delicious!!!

I can only eat filet mignon very rare and I take baby bites

I'm 6 wks post op. Last week I tried steak. It was rare, and I cut it into VERY tiny pieces. Fortunately, I had no problem.

I can only eat steak if it's cut up in small tiny pieces and must chew chew chew chew.

This may sound like a stupid question, but what is it about steak that makes it intolerable for many people? It seems like if it's chewed well enough and not too dry there shouldn't be a problem.

The thought of not eating steak again makes me sad lol

although I did not eat alot of steak before being banded. I did eat burgars with out buns, My taste buds have changed and any red meat at all taste nasty to me. I have tried to eat different red meats and they all have a "gross me out" taste. Its a good thing I like chicken breast and pork tenderlion (no bones)... because I would not know what to do. I am not big on fish either....

No, I want to like fish as its so good for you but I just cant.

I like atlantic salmon and I like things like canned tuna but as a family we never eat fish for dinner becuase its just plain freaking awful, lol. DH loves to fish and he brings it home and I cant even touch the stuff, the bones etc gross me out, I'm afraid of band problems from swallowing a bone, it tastes just like salt Water, its just awful. I do not get why people rave about fish.

DH was so excited to catch a big snapper and stuff it and put it on the barbecue whole and everyone raved over it and to me it was just - meh. What's the fuss?

Steak is a staple of my diet; I just had a few ounces of rib eye tonight. I just have to chew it well, and I eat it well done. ? I can eat chicken too...and white bread...so I think I'm kind of the exception. In fact I haven't found a food yet that I can't eat...some I shouldn't eat much of maybe, but nothing I can't.
