I can eat at least a cup at most of my meals. I appreciate the comments. I do need to go back to the basics, and be exercising more. I am still pretty new to getting adjusted to the band, and sometimes you loose focus on what exactlly you are suppose to be doing. It is definitely a life change. I still try to sneak a snack in every so often, which i know i am not suppose to do. I will do good for a while then its like you get lax for a little while. Thank you for the comments!:paranoid

After my fills, my doctor told me I didn't even have to do the liquid then soft then regular food thing. She said I could just advance as tolerated. I'm not sure why the doctors conflict so much as well as the dieticians. My dietician has not been very helpful as to which foods I need to be eating.

I was banded on 2/20/07. I had 2 fills under fluro so far. I am able to eat more at times, but then I vomit some of the time. I know i don't always eat the right foods and I'm still trying to see what I can or can't eat. Ex. can't handle rice. I've been hanging around the same weight for about 1 1/2 months now. I am definitely restricted, but its hard to know if you are restricted enough. Weight loss so far : 45lbs but 15 of it was before surgery

My band is usually tighter in the mornings as well. It makes it more difficult for me to decide if I need a fill or not, because I can't really eat in the mornings but I can eat more in the latter part of the day.
