6 Ounces of Filet Mignon



Recommended Posts

I like beef and at three months post op find that filet mignon, when chewed thoroughly and eaten slowly, goes down very well and keeps me feeling full for an extended period of time. Here is my question: is it better to eat a filet that rare, medium, medium-well or well-done. My preference has been medium. I also find that I can eat an entire 6-ounce steak in 30 minutes as long as I eat nothing but the steak. I enjoy the flavor and feel satisfied. Is 6 ounces too much? Should I eat fewer ounces of steak but more ounces of something else, such as vegetables or fruit? I am not touching bread or rice. Is 6 ounces too much? I do feel full but do not feel on pain after eating.

I'm 8 months post op and can't eat more than 4 ounces without feeling too full. I think your stomach nerves haven't "woken up" since surgery yet. My nerves didn't start working again until about 3 months post op. once they did I wasn't able to eat as much.

The way the meat is cooked doesn't matter as long as you take the right precautions when eating rare meat

Remember, red meat is very fatty and not nearly the healthiest source of Protein as it has been associated with heart problems and a whole mess of other health issues. It's okay every once in awhile but don't make it a regular thing. chicken, fish, and soy are much healthier

Actually, filet minion is not considered fatty...and is probably the best cut. But, I agree with kaylee ann- you should limit your portion to 3-4 oz max. Dont stretch your pouch.

My surgery was in November 2012 - so I am about 3 months out. My Iron levels were low after surgery so I have focused on eating a lot of beef. And it seems to me that whenever I eat filet mignon during the week, I lose more weight. Not sure if there is a connection. I know that eating a lot of beef supposedly is not good for us but I love it and thus eat it. I eat only lean beef. Of course, I do not eat gigantic steaks like I did in the past.

I do eat a lot of soy Protein. I also eat a lot of boiled eggs. But I do have beef at least 3 times a week.

Red meat sits the best with me as long as it is lean like filet. And really lean hamburger is the same (fat and calorie wise) as most chicken breast. It is pricey but I eat so little now. Actually, my dr told me to limit my soy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?
