Is it normal I can eat this?



Recommended Posts

I'm on solid foods now. Here's what I ate today:

B: Unjury vanilla Protein Shake

L: Smart Ones 180 calorie thingie

S: 1/2 an Isopure Protein Drink

D: 5oz filet mignon with an onion. <--------

The filet mignon went down fine. I'm not uncomfortably full. Nothing got stuck. It would have fit on the little plate my doctor told me about but it was 5oz. I figured I would be full before I finished but nope.

Is this bad? Normal? I'm getting a fill in 2 weeks so I'm hoping it will help restrict food a bit. For now though i feel guilty I ate that for dinner. But I am hungry *all* the time now. I'm not drinking with meals or any of that. The smart ones dinners don't fill me up at all either.

How are you all doing?

I don't know if its normal or not, but I can eat a boneless thick cut pork chop. I haven't gotten a fill yet, so I'm hoping for more restriction. I chew the meat really well, but haven't had a problem with most things. I get my fill on the 19th and I can't wait!

I have had London Broil also. I had it just a couple of days ago and had no problems with it going done other then I had to make sure it was chewed up very well. Any and all meat I have I make sure is chewed up very well. I did have chicken the other night that I got one bite stuck for about 5 minutes (very painful) because I didn't chew it enough. It's my understanding that this will be much more difficult after we start getting fills.

I have been on soilds for about a week now and that's pretty normal. The only thing I have had a problem with is bread. Beware though when you start the soilds you might gain weight.

I was banded on 12/11 and today (for the first time since surgery) I was able to eat 1 1/2 tuna salad sandwiches on ww bread... and I had to stop myself from finishing that second one :( I know I haven't had any fills yet and have no restriction, but it still got to me since I have been eating a lot less since my surgery. Well, just thought I'd share, and thank God I'm going in for my first fill on 12/23:thumbup:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
