How long have you been banded?

Hello All. I am 55 yo. I had my psych eval on Tues 4/8 and the therapist told me to try and eat like I would have to eat after having the surgery; that is: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner with no snacks, chew 30 times, no water 1/2 hour before eating or 1 hour after eating, no bread, beans, etc and also the small amount that can fit in the "new" stomach after the surgery. So yesterday I ate 3/4 of an english muffin for breakfast with some peanut butter, lunch was a 260 calorie Lean Cuisine and by dinner time, I was ready to bite someone's head off! I had bacon and eggs for dinner! Probably not diet approved. I can't bear the thought of never eating ice cream again, or beans, or a beer now and again, or nuts, or lots of other stuff. Is it really THAT restrictive after you have the band placed? Reconsidering, Denise:huh2:,:confused2:
