Is it normal I can eat this?

[bethm 0]

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:
