Has anyone successfully eaten steak 6 months to a year post-op?  Just curious how it went?  Would you do it again?

Thanks

I ate steak 2 months or so out and did fine! I love a nice, tender filet. The place I go to does an amazing 6 oz filet, so it's basically 3 meals for me. Best of luck! Just be sure to chew well :)

Glad to hear it went well!  Reheating always seems to be a problem with meat, because once you try to reheat it - it tends to get tougher and less moist.  That's one hard part.

True about reheating. I'm an odd duck..I like it cold from the fridge as a leftover! :-)

That is what I do - thin sliced on a few salad greens- a vsg "salad"!

I agree with this here, but I've been looking into future ways to deal with this, for example, thinly slicing it, then having it on a salad or mixed in with something.

Another thing that could be good, too, is slicing it thin while cold and eating it cold in a salad or lettuce wrap or something like that. Or mixing it into egg if you can eat eggs (I'm allergic, so not for me).  Another thing that could be good is mixed into with a little reduced fat cheese, onions, green pepper, put in a mini muffin tin, and baked to make "breadless" philly steak bites?

Sorry, only six days out and while not feeling hungry in my tummy I am starting to get a little head hungry. Plus it's about time I eat something ;)

I also am eating steak, and I'm just over 2 months out.  I make sure to not overcook it, and I chew small pieces really well.  No problems at all.  I can eat about 2 oz at a time.

AWESOME!  I love steak, and thought I'd never see it again.

No problem for me to eat steak at all. I couldn't eat much early out, but it never presented a problem for me - ever!

I had my first steak about 6 weeks out.  It was no problem.  I eat my leftovers cold, too...usually in a salad.
