Why can’t eat red meat after surgery?
You can. But you will need to be very careful, and we recommend that you avoid it for the first several month. Red meats contain a high level of meat fibers (gristle) which hold the piece of meat together, preventing you from separating it into small parts when you chew. The gristle can plug the outlet of your stomach pouch and prevent anything from passing through, a condition that is very uncomfortable.
