I'm currently on full liquids, 5 days post op. I know Protein is the priority---so does this mean eventually steak will be able to be consumed, even if it's just a couple bites? I can't imagine eating it now, but I assume if it's tender enough there won't be a problem? (Can you tell I'm craving to CHEW on something? Haha)

I eat it all the time! Tri tip, mostly. I did have some problems with it early out (4-6 months), so I would only get the most tender cuts. Now I seem to handle it much better. I love me a good steak!

When you say a "problem" with it...what's the problem? Stomach ache? Vomiting? Stuck feeling? I love steak too :)

Ohhh I like steak. The trick is to only eat a few bites and then wait a bit to decide if you're full. Dense Protein like steak is something I enjoy, however I have to be extra careful to eat slowly, chew it a lot, and not put anything like oil or sauce on it, otherwise it hurls itself right back out of my mouth.

I love beef. I can only have about two bites of it where chicken I can have a lot more.

I cook it in my slow cooker to make it extra tender.

I love steak!! I just started eating it recently and I am 16 months post op. I tried it a few times earlier and it just didn't appeal to me. It didn't make me sick, but as soon as I would put it in my mouth and start to chew I would lose my taste for it. I have no problems with it now. Guess my taste buds just had to catch up.

Just upset stomach...almost like it was too hard to digest. Honestly was the only food that ever gave me an issue.

I haven't thrown up once since surgery 14 months ago :)

I love love love a good medium/medium rare steak! I couldn't tolerate steak for the first 2-3 months, but YES steak is do-able for me now. In fact, we had bacon wrapped filets last night, and I can eat almost half of a 6oz one LOL! Leftovers are guarded and used for lunch the next day!

Weirdly enough my sleeve does not get along well with chicken, but steak agrees with it! I love very rare steak, so it probably helps that it's very tender. I started at about two months post op with very small portions/bites and tolerate it fine

I had a lovely 2 oz filet for dinner tonight, and I'm 7 weeks post-op. I cooked it in a cast Iron skillet to get a nice crust and it was medium rare. So yummy! Served with a garlic Parmesan spaghetti squash. My favorite post-op meal so far!

YES, steak should be rare. My husband always orders his well done and I'm like why are you destroying that piece of meat?

Haven't thrown up! Yay...so happy for you! That too is my goal in this, I hear so much talk about vomiting and regurgitating--I thought it was inevitable! I'm not usually a "puker" and haven't thrown up yet, hope it stays that way :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
