When did you try Steak again?



Recommended Posts

I too had it about 1 month out and haven't had any problems. The only foods that upset my stomach are carbs and deep fried things. I guess we all have to listen to our bodies on this!

I had steak at 11 weeks... Medium rare, very tender and delicious. Ate the filet part of the tbone. No problem. Had some steak again today that was marinated and crazy tender. My stomach loved it.

I was a huge steak fan. I am 14 weeks out. I've had ground beef and it was a bad experience. I'll probably will never eat beef again. More and more foods I've tried have gone on my NO list.

After two weeks, my surgeon pretty much left it up to me to decide what I could and couldn't tolerate and when. In my opinion, steak goes down much easier than chicken or pork. Probably because the higher fat content makes it softer. I do fine with it unless I get distracted and don't chew enough. Then it can get stuck just like other meats and may have to come back up before anything else can use the pipe. And you you can grease the skids with apple sauce or other low-carb sauces. Fat and calories don't really matter much at this stage because you'll be taking in less than 100 a day anyway. But keep those calories to Protein as much as possible. And as a steak lover you'll be happy to hear that my on-the-fly meal is a bag of Jerky. A 3-oz bag is a meal. Gotta watch the sodium, though. Enjoy the ride!

Somewhere around 3 months or so. No problems.

Funny how different foods are tolerated by different people. I can eat almost anything in small small portions, even bread! But for some reason steak and roast beef are not my friend. Pork, no worries, chicken, a breeze, fish goes down smoothly. But not beef! I can tolerate hamburger, but no other cut of beef is acceptable. I am 6 months out so maybe in a few months I will try steak again.

I have tried steak and or beef several times throughout my 2 years. and it hates me. It just does.....Only once was I able to eat a couple of bites and then the next time I tried it it was back to being stuck in my throat feeling....

Did I mention it just hates me! :)

Well, one thing good about beef steak not liking me.... I honestly don't miss it. It feels like a lump of coal in my tummy so why would I want that? So many other tasty things I can enjoy..... Like tuna steak! Ha!

      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.
