Ok, today is my anniversary and my hubby wants to take me to a steak house. Have any of you tried steak?

[Jen in SoCal 189]

I have. Just take teeny tiny bites and chew like there's no tomorrow. I will even spit it into my napkin (very ladylike of course) if it feels like I can't chew it enough. May I suggest the filet mignon? Lol. Seriously, it will be the most tender. Good luck and happy anniversary!

Try enjoying fish off the menu... The trout at longhorn steakhouse is awesome!!

Thank you, everyone! We went to a place called the Plaza III. It was very nice. I had the grilled chicken breast and mashed potatoes. I did fine, missed some of my favorites like the bread, but this is worth it!

How far out are you from your surgery?

[kmiller 146]

About 6 weeks

[ddussault 5]

Awesome, can't wait to eat real food

I even still have issues with chicken unless I dip it in something like mustard or sauce. Steak scares me still....truth be told I could live on lobster tail hahaha

I was eating mostly "real food" from week three. I could not purée meat lol. I just couldn't eat it. So I just took little bites and chewed till I could chew no more. Lol. I'm now almost 8 weeks out and I eat whatever I want. I've had zero problems. As long as its little bites and chew like crazy
