After surgery at what point can you actually have a steak or hotdog???

Once you're cleared to go back onto solid foods think about 5 weeks for me

I'm not sure a hot dog is your best source of Protein.

You have two topics so far and you've asked about eating steak, hot dogs, cheeseburgers and BBQ. Have you had at nutrition consult? Perhaps you need to sit down with him/her and with a support group to hear what your diet is going to be like before you go through surgery. The things you are asking about are not in the best interest of your new stomach, new lifestyle or your weight loss.

My doc says no steak or roast beef for 16 weeks (4 months), because it is so dense and difficult to digest.

After 4-5 weeks I was able to eat steak. Hot dogs, BBQ, and cheeseburgers were pretty easy after 4 weeks. Like most of us I'm only able to eat a few bites and I can tell you that if a hot dog is what I want, my 3-4 bites for that meal will certainly be the hot dog.
