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 still eat mine rare or barely medium rare. No issues.

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

      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.
