beef
So my diet recommendations said no beef for 6 months. I'm 12 weeks post op and really tired of chicken and fish. Does anyone know why they specify no beef for 6 months? I had no restrictions on pork, just beef.
I have followed all my other dietary guidelines very closely but I'd love to have some beef!

The reasoning is that red meat has more calories and less protein per gram than the leaner meats. My program actually specifies no beef or por****il I reach 75% of goal.
It has been quite an adjustment for me, since all I ate previous to surgery was beef and pork. Usually with pasta or potatoes - and those are out on my program too.
I stick with chicken - turkey is just awful and not as high in protein as the chicken. What I do is grind the chicken up and make different types of sausages with it. Then it has a great flavor and the protein and still falls within my diet.

I was advised (not told) to not have beef early out because it can cause/contrubute to constipation....
I have been eating beef since about 4 mo out if I can recall and havent had any problems. It is a little higher in calories but it also fills me up a lot more than turkey/chicken. Takes longer to digest for me.
