Scott F 0 Posted March 1, 2006 I'm eight days post op and it just occured to me that I can enjoy a juicy steak, if I swallow only juices. I suppose this is better done at home than at the Outback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted March 1, 2006 Awright, you had me worried, there. Be careful! Don't compromise your new band for a little steak. It won't be long before you can enjoy small pieces of the real stuff...you have the rest of your life! I DID panic when I read your thread title though. Nice one.

Kim_8 2 Posted March 1, 2006 been there - done that! better at home for sure - you only gross out the spouse and kids! Although if you decided to give it a go at Outback, you'd probably have a great quiet table due to the outflux of dining guests. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovecats85 2 Posted March 1, 2006 Haha, shortly after my surgery my hubby made a steak and I dipped at the juice, and then I was overcome with carnivorism and I took a huge bite, chewed on it, sucked out the juice, and spit it out. It was gross that I did that but it satisfied that craving! Happy Bday to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovecats85 2 Posted March 1, 2006 thought you said steak for b-day, but you said 8 day. I'm obviously blurry eyed tired! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bell 0 Posted March 1, 2006 Yep, that 8 days 'post-op' got me too.... Something else I did eary was fry bacon very crisp, and chewed it like gum, then spit it out. Sure hit the spot!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted March 1, 2006 Okay, I was worried to at the title. Don't do that to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEAGLD 0 Posted March 1, 2006 Hey, I'm from Germany, and many things are different to the USA, but I had to stay with liquid 4 weeks post op. And that for a reason. They found out that the weight loss in the first month post op is initial for the whole weight loss process. So the more u lose in the first weeks, the better u lose weight later on. U can still eat steaks and other stuff later. I really enjoy having a steak sometimes. Ok, I can only eat a quarter, but that's great (it's what I wanted itsn't it?)!

HarleyNana 10 Posted March 1, 2006 The title definitely caught my eye, don't even think about it! The healing time is so important. Tiny bites one day, but NOT any time soon, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOC 0 Posted March 1, 2006 I think the "title" got everyone..... I had steak last week, 6 1/2 weeks post op, no fill, cut the steak in very small pieces, chewed the heck out of it.... only got three down and it PB's for two hours. I was sooooo sick. Everyone kept telling me that I had to learn MY band, what MY band wanted and couldn't handle... OK I think I got it now. I am now back to mushies for two weeks to give my stomach a break. NO MORE STEAK FOR THIS BANDSTER..... Take it slow.... you don't have to learn the hard way like me:nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
