Steak, I love you, you been good to me, I'm gonna miss you!!!

I have my surgery next week on the 31st. I'm excited, nervous, scared and everything in between. I've been noticing that I've begun to talk to my food. I go to eat a sanwich and I tell it I love it, I'll miss it and then I tell it goodbye. I'm crazy! I never knew how much food ruled my life.

I can't wait to be able to control my hunger and feel full for once! :clap2:

Tomorrow, I'm going to have my last steak dinner at my favorite restaurant, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I'm going to tell my filet that I love it and then tell it goodbye!

I've been banded 4 months and I eat steak regularly....it's such a darn tootin' shame that I have to eat filets though. :eek:

Oh, that does give me hope. I don't mind giving up the loaded baked potato that goes so well with the steak, or the onion rings but oh I hope my band will allow me to get Protein through steak. (eyes, fingers, toes, mind crossed!)

Ruths Chris, yum! Enjoy it, honey...just in case.

How does a steak shake sound everyone!??! Ewwww!

I'm one month post op and I don't think I could handle a steak! Take a bite for me!

Girl, I am to be banded Aug. 17th, and I am so with you.... I love all foods...Any my problem has always been portion size. I eat healthy, very healthy I cant just have a chicken leg, or a small steak....Get the picture? I would pick steak and lobster over any dessert!! But, with the band, I want to have only a chicken leg or a palm size piece of steak..

I know I will eat properly, just half the portions.... I am a little sad too, saying bye to all my food friends, especially my FRESH BREAD!!!!

But I know that once the pounds start going down on the scale, I will be jumping up and down with glee!!!

And

The other night we went to a nice steakhouse with another couple. The other girl and I split an 8 oz. filet. I had maybe 3 oz, 2 TBSP of potatoes au gratin and one asparagus spear w/ a bit of crabmeat. I was perfectly content. Oh, and I was the last one to finish my meal by another 10 minutes!

Terri, I am being banded in two days. I love to think that after I am banded I can still go to a restaurant and eat what you have just mentioned, it is exactly how I would like my band to work, you seem to have it just right.
