I I am almost two weeks out and I am craving red meat! A big fat steak would take care of this, but we all know that's not the answer. Anyone else crave red meat and if so what did you do to subside this craving?

Just an idea, maybe make a juicy steak up then chew/suck out all the juices and spit out the meat. It might help

Your 2 weeks out of what? Pre surgery or Post surgery. Pre I would go eat steak. Steaks are great after surgery but the portion just isnt the same. I miss a big steak, but love getting skinny more.

At two weeks out you shouldn't be eating anything as solid as steak. Aren't you still on liquids? Or at least puréed/mushies! It's a craving. Better get used to them and figure out a way to deal with them without sabotaging your health and weight loss.

Yes I know I should be eating anything two weeks after surgery. That's why I said it wasn't the answer..

I am only on soft/ liquid foods.

The question was has anyone had this craving and what did you do about it?

      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.
