For those that are post op what temperature do you take your steaks now? I was a medium rare to medium just depending on the cut. Now a medium rare is too undercooked and leads to digestion hell for me. This weekend I had a 6oz filet cooked medium and the difference in digestion was substantial.

I don't eat beef any longer. I tried it once at about four months and had a major dumping incident. I generally stick with fish and chicken these days.

My stomach would be in hell from rare. It takes a very long time to digest and have to be particularly careful not to eat and drink with steak even more than with most foods.

same.

I can also eat it at medium just fine (don't prefer it at this temp, but will eat it when I accidentally overcook it this way)

I have tested this with my brother who also had the surgery - Here is my key hope it works for you

Sous Vide - Our favorite is skirt steak - I buy the a big bag from Restaurant Depot and take a long time cleaning it and removing all the fat. Then I beat the hell out of it and use a needle tenderizer. Then Marinade it with Lime juice pineapple and into the Sous Vide. let it cook for about 6 hours at 125 degrees. No flash it on the grill supper hot for one minute a side.

Key is it is tender and moist and will go down easy. The Sous Vide machine is the greatest machine i bought for cooking Protein keeps it moist and tender

      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.

        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!
