Ive done pretty well with portion control. I am 4 weeks post op and have never gone over 4-8 ounces (with no fill). Today I had a bowl of Broccoli and Cheese soup from Subway. I was able to finish the whole bowl which was 310 grams (abt 11 oz). Then I slowly ate 1 chicken wing portion for the first time since surgery. Do you think that was too much. I think I was able to eat so much soup because it was like drinking liquid. I know I need to take responsibibility with portion control, but Im just surprised that I was able to finish it with no problem.

I don't think the bandster police will issue a ticket! lol But creamy soups are sometimes loaded with calories so be careful. I get New England Cleam Chowder from Progress0 (light) and I think it's 299 calories for the entire can-and so yummy! I chicken wing is barely worth a mention! lol

Good Luck!! Sounds like you are doing a great job!

Sometimes you just have to eat something good! Watch your step from here on out! ; > )

Thanks for your post, Im not going to beat myself up about it too bad. I was just so surprised that I was able to take in so much and was trying to figure out why. The soup had 220 calories, so I was ok in that area. Im still new to this so the smallest thing will freak me out just a little. I wish you the best with your band - Nicole
