when did you have your steak again



Recommended Posts

I began to have steak again at about 2 1/2 months although I was lifted of all dietary restrictions at 6 weeks. Lots of people can't do then but I have had no adverse reactions to anything I have tried.

Yes, it's as good as I remembered! :)

About 6-8 weeks. I like tender, juicy cuts anyway and don't ruin my steaks with over-cooking so I think that helped with me being able to tolerate it so early :)

At about 7 weeks for me. I was not able to eat but maybe 3 oz but it was oh so good!

I think my 1st steak was at week 5 or 6. When I was back on regular foods. Steak never bothered me, chicken breast, however, still occasionally makes Frankensleeve grumble.

same as others have said. About 1.5 to 2 months out. It fills me up quick, but chicken seems to stay with me much longer and keeps me full for a long time. Beef Jerky is my favorite thing ever now gives high Protein lowish calorie and low fat.

We make our own Jerky (we actually have commercial equipment because we make so much of it! ). I suspect that jerky will end up being a large part of my to-go arsenal.

I was wondering when it was safe to venture into eating steak since it's really not listed on my surgeon's eating plan. I think I may have found my next thing to try over the 4th or when we go out to eat . . . .

I had to wait 3 months for beef, pork & lamb. I'm right at that point, but awaiting a green light from my NUT with my follow up appt at the end of the week. Some folks have a hard time tolerating red meat after surgery, so my bariatric team prefers to go on the cautious side. I never thought that I could go this long without beef (especially not being a big poultry fan) but time goes by quickly. I'm probably going to start with some hamburger first & see how that goes.

y'all are making me jealous, my surgeon doesn't allow red meat until six months out :( (I love steak and I'm under two weeks out, I've got a long wait ahead!).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
