Kittycat Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 This weekend I graduated to solids and had a steak on Saturday for dinner. It was medium rare and melted in my mouth. I ate about a third of it, a taste of potato and veggies and was full from 8 p.m. to 9 a.m. this morning. Steak is the way to go to feel full for a long period of time...for me!!! I hope I can still manage it after my fill on Wednesday. Enjoy! Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona-camille Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 mmmmmm so steak was easy huh? I am wondering how it will feel after you fill. I get so much conflicting information abnout meats and restriction, I am so unsure of which is ok and which isn't. I guess as long as you can chew it good, it is ok.

I've tried steak and it didn't go well. Even a plain burger patty feels like I'm chewing gum because it takes so long, haha. However, I have found that meat balls are ok, and they break down easier when chewing. .... and I haven't had a fill yet, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too bad, I haven't had a fill yet either, Wednesday is the big day! I cut the meat really small and chewed like crazy, so it went down fine...I love steak and I hope I can still manage it when I get my fill. I still have some restriction from surgery, so I am going to request a small one to start and see how it goes. I only live one hour from my clinic, so I can book fills anytime. My fee pays for unlimited fills and f/up visits for 5 years, so I am more flexible than most. When's your fill? Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkieMommy Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 When's your fill? My fill is Wednesday too. I'm not very good at chewing well, haha. I was visiting family this weekend and they were emphazing "don't forget to chew." So, the meat not going down well is my own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the things I was worried about for myself. I am still on the mushy stage, so I am waiting till I get to solids. Yesterday was the first day since being banded that after eating a meal, I stayed full for hours. I made cream of brocolli soup and put in cooked chicken that was blended; I had about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup over an hour and I was full for hours afterwards. It stayed with me for hours. Glad to hear you had a nice meal though! Sounds like you stayed on track too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Way to go! I bet is was so yummy! I tried steak once, but I couldn't get it down. I wanted it really badly too! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've had 3 fills (2.35ccs total) and can eat steak with no problems, I have a filet mignon at least once a week maybe a total of 3 or 4 oz total and always cut up the pieces to the size of a pencil eraser. I also get my steak medium rare so it's plenty tender/chewable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julieburns Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I just ate some delicious steak tonight that my husband BBQ'd. It was Yummy. I had no problem. As mentioned in other peoples posts I also cut it up real small. I will get my fill Thursday so I hope I can still eat it after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinegirl Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I love steak. Even when I was doing Atkins steak was the only food that kept me satisfied for a long period of time. I'm hoping that I can keep eating it. Today I'm on soft foods but by the weekend I will be trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazn Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Yummmm, I had steak last night. We used to always eat Ribeyes but they are loaded with fat so now that I am a lot more health conscious we eat Sirloin. (I'd love to eat Filets but they are a lot more pricey.) This is an insert of Ruby Tuesday's Nutritional Info of their Steaks. This kinda gives an idea of the fatter steaks.
