Am I normal?
(Only answers to the question will be entertained, already know that mentally I am not.
So, I am 7.5 weeks out and I feel great! I eat around 80 gms of protein everyday, but that is all I eat. I am supposed to eat protein first. By the time I eat my protein which is about 1-2 oz per meal I don't have room for anything else. IS THIS NORMAL FOR MY STAGE?

Yep.

You are totally on track and doing great! That is a lot of protein but that's what your body needs right now. I am around 9 months out and finally my doctor said I could relax a little with the shakes and try to eat what I need, but I love summer for fresh fruits and veggies and let myself have some of those if only for the fiber. Keep up the good work!

Yes I think that is normal. If I eat soft foods, like scrambled eggs, cottage cheese for example, I can eat 4oz with no problems. But if I eat solid foods like chicken or meat of any kind I can only eat about 2.5oz at most. Last night we had some chicken that my wife make with some great bran coating on it. It tasted so great. I felt I was pretty full, but it was so good that I pressed on and at 4oz of it. Guess what I tossed it up. So I think I must keep my solid food down a bit, and it looks like you are doing the same thing. So I guess you are normal. Now for me, well everyone here knows I have big time problems and probably should be put in a padded cell for my own good and the good of others on this web site.
