Hi all - I'm new, banded 4/7/09. Overall, no problems but I am learning alot. Biggest lesson: that my "hunger" has less to do with actual hunger and more to do with those great smells! Anyway - my surgeon does a few days of Clear liquids, few of full liquids. I'm now on "pureed". I put that in quotations because, I'm not actually putting it in a blender, but eating eggs, applesauce, soft fish, etc and mashing it. No vomiting at all. Here are my primary questions: 1) I do get a full sensation and stop eating. It seems like I'm eating too much (maybe 3/4 cup). 2) I'm also a big Water drinker and having trouble balancing fluid/food. How can my pouch hold this much? Am I already stretched out? I'm a bit freaked out thinking I might have done this and already messed up!
