I posted earlier about my food yesterday and now I feel like I ate even more today. Tonight I kept waiting for that "full" feeling and I was surprised at how much I ate. For being only ONE week out, I wonder if I'm doing alright?

Today I had 1 cup of blended potato Soup, then about 1/2 cup of refriend Beans whipped up with a little sourcream and a pinch of cheese, 1/4 cup of yogurt, and another 1 cup of blended potato soup. Then about a tsp. of Peanut Butter and a couple bites of runny oatmeal. About 3 bites. Why am I seeming to being able to get down so much? I'm not feeling sick from being overly full. I know I need more Protein, and need to add in Protein drinks. I need to get them tomorrow when I have a ride. (I had to have an incision instead of doing my surgery laproscopic so I can't drive yet). When I read that people are only eating a couple bites or 1/4 cup I feel like something is wrong with me since I can get in anywhere from 1/2 to 1 cup...esp. if it's soup. Just feeling a little down that I'm over doing something.

Sounds like we are both feeling the same way. Nothing is filling me up and I don't feel different when I eat, unlike a handful of other bandsters.

I have been having issues sticking with what the Dr. says for the diet. liquid only for 4 weeks? I have added some soft/mushy foods because I start to get the shakes.

Good luck and I hope when you get a fill you feel a little better when you're eating.

Redhead girl brilliant link, in just having a look at it now. I am 2 and half weeks banded and I am stuggling to lose any weight. I know this is the time for healing but I hear loads od people on here losing big time, all in all with 1 week post op diet I have lost 10pm! Granted I wouldn't have as much to lose as others, I am 222lbs now but still???? I didn't realise I had to eat more protein, this is probably where I have been going wrong. You site has given me a good insure to what I have to do , thank you so much

Sorry that should say 10 lb , dam iPhone !!! Lol
