Red meat consumption

[xoto2000 5]

Hi all I am just closing in on my 4th month post op and I direly miss red meat, but I’m a little shaky and afraid to eat it. When were you guys okay with eating red meat?

I never had a problem with red meat. It was chicken that got me (but now that's fine too). Try it soft, like a meatball, and see how you do!

I had red meat the first week I was on regular foods sooooo.... like week 6? I would suggest watching the texture. If you like it well done, but might be problematic. I had a medium-rare filet and it was AMAZING.

Regular foods were at 4 weeks for me. I think I waited like 3 days into the 4th week? lol

I made a beef stew....it was so damn delicious! I figured I might have an issue so I thought I would start with something softer...and it went well! I had roast beef week 5 and didn't have an issue. Truthfully...the only thing that has bothered me was scrambled eggs. The first time I tried it was fine....but it just felt weird for about 15 min after. Had them this am and I don't have any issues

Like those above, red meat has always been fine for me. I love a good steak! (Just a much smaller serving now). My only meat I can’t eat much of is pork. It’s so dense, I can only get in about 2 oz before I get my full signals.

No issues with red meat, chicken or pork here. Good luck

I have beef and pork rarely because I have to crave them to eat them. They seem to sit well most of the time but I have “off” days with foods every once in a while.

chicken has been my biggest issue after my RNY revision but I’m slowly able to eat it now that I’m 9 months out from it.
