Why is steak bad?
Every surgeon's plan is different.
If your surgeon says you shouldn't have it, you probably shouldn't..... at least not in teh first six months or so.
If your surgeon says it's fine, and your BODY says it's fine, then it's fine.
I loooooove me some steak! It's about the only meat that nearly always works for me.

There's no reason to avoid something just because other people have plans that restrict if. If your plan says it is okay,a nd your BODY says it is okay, then it is okay

The instructions say 6 mo but Im going to ask my doctor tomorrow.
Ah, THAT part was not in your first post. I wish you would have included that little tidbit.
If your surgeon says 6 months, the ONLY proper way to deviate from that is to have them okay it. Glad you're calling the surgeon tomorrow - it's really your only option if you want to remain compliant.
Also, next time you have a question like this, it would probably be best just to put what your surgeon says right out there when you ask the question. I for one was under the impression that your surgeon had not addressed it one way or the other since you didn't mention any instructions and were asking our opinions.
ALWAYS go with your surgeon's instructions unless they specifically tell you to go ahead and make a change.

As the others have said, it is likely because THEIR surgeon's plan tells them not to have it yet. If red meat is on your surgeon's plan for 3 months out, and it doesn;t make you sick, ignore whoever is telling you not to have it. Some surgeons have very conervative post-op plans and some (like mine) are pretty liberal. What matters is that you are following what YOUR surgeon wants.
