Not sure how to feel

Hey everyone,

 

Well on nov 17th I was banded... did the whole soup and mushy food thing. Now I am eating reg food . Of course not as much- i was banded with 2cc. I have a doc apt tomor. So I will ask for specific directions then. i have lost a total of 7 pounds. Is this normal? Am I suppose to be eating reg food or not? I feel guilty just looking at food. Any advice? I am so confused

I just got banded on the 20th and just started eating mushy foods. I have lost about 7 pounds too! I am thrilled! So far I have been feeling great.

eating reg foods is normal...don't worry about the guilt thing i felt the same way...just remember portion size...read the labels and eat slowly. i was banded on 10-21...how much your prep yourself during your healing period def. helps when you get your first fill..i just had mine on 12-2 and i was starting to "cheat" a little towards the end b/c i was only filled with 4cc and i didn't really feel any restriction so its been a little more challenging for me now that i'm eating way way less...but keep up the good work...remember you have to think of things not in pounds but how much change your making!
