I just had to call my nutritionist because of the same thing! Its totally normal. The reason you can eat what feels like 'too much' is because you have an empty band.Once you get your fill, that'll subside. If its too tempting to eat more than you should, sub in a heavy duty Protein Shake (add yogurt, fruit, ice, etc so it feels substantial). Good work on the 20 that you're down!

Kudos for doing so well! Gas pains are the worst, but the more you move the faster you get rid of them. I noticed that even just rocking back and forth while standing and watching tv (or something where I'd normally sit) helped a lot.

Hey girls! I'm 23 and just got banded on 3/12/13. I'm a week in and I've lost 10-ish pounds. I think losing -/+ 3 lbs is completely normal. I don't know about you but I had 2 weeks pre-op of fluids only and 2 weeks post-op of fluids. Its totally normal that you would lose more in this period than a normal week once you're eating regularly.

Hey team! I'm freshly banded and living in Charleston. I know this is an old forum but I'm hoping some newer people from the area will see it.
