I am not hungry it is just that I have been at 57lb weight loss for a few months and I am not loosing any weight and my dr is very strict and I understand what he is saying when he said you have to band your brain to change your eating habits. I didn't take it in a bad way and I do have restriction at 4.5cc. So I just need to change my exercise and do more meal planning now that he only wants me eating 3 meals a day at 4oz only and healthy snacks.

My doctor's quote is this you have a band on your stomach and now you have to band your head to think about eating different. I am at 4.5 cc and he said I he went any tighter I would not be able to swallow and that I needed to make sure I exercised.

3 weeks out i was still on liquids i did not start adding solid foods until 6 weeks out. But 40z was all i could have. I eat a lot of tomato soup made with skim milk, slim fast shakes, yogourt, jello, sugar free pudding and at six weeks i added soft food and deli lunch meat (mainly turkey), cottage cheese. I still do not eat steak or any meat that has a lot of fat.

I went for my 4th visit post op and my doctor said no more shakes I should be eating 3 small meals a day (4oz) at a time and healty snacks in between. I had my surgery in June 2009 and have lost 56lbs but have been maintaing that weight lose for about 3 months. I have started exercising more and I drink only water or sugar free koolaide. I eat very little starches.
