When did you start eating (and tolerating) red meat?

My surgeon has a strict diet, and forbids red meat for almost 6 months, and is telling new patients that they should never eat it again! I find this too extreme, and am wondering what patients of other surgeons are being told. How soon did you eat items like ground beef, or steak. I am really craving some chili w/ hamburger, and wonder how long until I can tolerate it, and have it safely.
