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:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
