Small filet steak... Could only eat half



Recommended Posts

Just cooked a small filet steak and it was delicious! First piece of beef since surgery. I could only eat half... soo little but loving this sleeve restriction.

I can't eat much steak either so if hubby has his mind set on steak, I will have something else.

When did you have the surgery?

I had some steak in Delta One on our flight from Seoul to Detroit a couple of weeks ago -- my first since the surgery. It didn't cause me too many problems, but I could only eat a little bit of it. It's not on my everyday list of foods, but I might have it from time to time. I have 2 oz of hamburger steak every day, so that gives me my red meat fix! (And, to be honest, the appeal of the steak dinner for me was always the steak, potato, salad, red wine, and dessert combination. Since all of that is off the table now, the magic is gone...)

Im only 3 weeks out. Just started reg foods. Chew a ton and eat a little and its all good. Some docs say wait 2 months. To me that's major over kill but Im not a Dr. My recovery has been extremely quick and easy. All I eat is shakes, little chicken, yogurt and some vegetables. Also take all my Vitamins and Biotin. Oh and I LOVE sugar free popsicles!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
