MEAT anyone?

Seems like many people can't tolerate beef. Friends and family went to a nice resturaunt over the weekend and I was daring enough to order a filet. I cut it into really small bites and chewed like crazy, dipped it in some sour cream and it was heavenly. Anyone else tried beef, other than ground? Melissa 286/253/?

I tried a bite of hubbys steak yesterday, it looked sooooo good!!!! I chewed like 30x and new it was not going to work so I spit it out!!! I will try another time with a better cut of steak, has anyone tried prime rib? That is always so soft. Heidi

My post op papers say that the cuts of beef I can eat are the loin cuts like tenderloin. Its says that the t bone and prime rib are too fatty and tough. I don't know, guess it's how it's prepared. i'm still on full liquids so I haven't ventured past pintos & cheese from taco bell yet. Laurie 262/243/135

Just ground beef for me, but I have had better luck with it thank turkey or chicken. Neither of those will stay down and I haven't been brave enough to try fish yet. My nose is really sensitive. Just one whiff of something icky and I am racing for the bathroom!

I didn't think you were supposed to eat meat this early? I would be in heaven if you could. Please advise. Have you tried anything else? Tonya

Depends on your doctor. I'm not supposed to have beef, but I am allowed fish, turkey and chicken. I just can't stomach those. Beef, which is something I'm not supposed to tolerate, sits better than things I AM allowed.

I am three weeks out and can have ground beef, chicken, turkey, fish tomorrow.

Hi Tonya, I am not scheduled to eat beef until I reach six months. I can try deli meats next week. Over the weekend, I tried shreded chicken...it went down ok, but hurt like a heart attack afterwards. I won't be trying that again any time soon. I'll be on turkey, chicken, fish, and deli meats long before I can have beef. However, I can't promise that I won't try it sooner!!

DC, it sounds like your chicken got stuck! I got some cottage cheese stuck and it hurt like you're describing. Just gotta make sure it's chewed up WEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL! LOL! Michelle

I tried chicken the last two days, once it was breast with ceasar dressing and parm cheese. It hit my stomach and just sat there, ugh, the feeling. Yesterday I tried sliced chicken from the deli and had fat free gravy on it. It came right back up. I spoke with the nutrionist today and she said that if beef stay, go for it. Try to increase my 1 ounce to 1 1/2 ounce to up the protein. This is such a learning experience. Melissa 286/252/?
