Can You Eat Steak??



Recommended Posts

This is an odd question sort of, but bear with me. I normally can eat steak with no problems as long as it's cooked right and I eat it slowly.

Our normal steakhouse closed down so we've been going to a local chain grill place. The last two times I've gotten steak there so much of it is wasted. I can't chew it all the way up and I end up spitting it in my napkin because I'm too scared too swallow. It looks normal but it's not chewable. Is it grissle (sp?) in it or what?

I'm so dissapointed because I love a good steak and lately I can't get one.

I go with prime rib if I want beef. It is usually more doable then steak.

Sounds like the quality of the steak is not tender enough. I always order the highest quality steak, yes I spoil myself.

I would try another type of steak or steakhouse. Good luck.

I love steak.... and sometimes my band loves steak. Other times it doesnt. That said...I wish there was a way to know... but since there isnt, I play it safe and always get a high quality beef of the most tender cut like filet or tenderloin. Sometimes a rib eye or prime rib is ok too. Then I just hope for the best.

I have totally given up on steak..no matter how I do it it just will not go down. Last time I vomited 5v times and that was my final clue this is just not worth it. I do love and can eat prime rib rare. YUM

IT'S THE ONE meat I have never been stuck on. Sometimes when I am eating a meat of any kind I just can't swallow it cuz I can't get it chewed. I don't even have to think about it anymore, I just spit it out when that happens.

I think you should try a better cut.

I haven't tried steak yet. I did have a sliver of prime rib and all was okay. I am 2.5 months out and at zero restriction, so, who knows what the future will bring.

I share with my hubby too... only lean tender cuts. I have never had a problem except with london broil...too chewy and I got stuck, so no more. Filets and prime rib or me! I am worth it! :rolleyes:

My husband and I have always loved ribeye steaks and we used to eat one large one a piece. Now, when I want steak, I only take a portion of his and he eats the rest. Would I ever eat a cheaper cut? I doubt it! I had a sirloin once from Texas Roadhouse and what I went through with it almost turned me against eating steak forever! By the way, we have agreed from here on out that if we want steak, we will buy it and grill it at home - it's cheaper, I get it cooked the way I want, and we share without any questions. I've tried tenderloin, but just don't like the taste compared to ribeyes.

Thanks guys! Sirloin is actually my favorite steak ever but the last two were just awful. I try not to get anything too expensive because my husband won't share it with me, I eat medium rare, he eats medium well.

Only time I ever had an issue with Steak was when I ate as a left over the next day. It was too dry and it got stuck.

I absolutely can not eat steak but I know some people can. I also just chew and chew and chew and then I am scared to swallow.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
