Hi Guys !!!

I'm super new to this forum even though I read almost every night different topics here.

I have a question...

Is it normal that I can eat everything? When I say everything I really mean everything!!!

Meat, pork, chicken, rice, beans, EVERYTHING!!!

I was banded December 16 and everything went perfect, minimal discomfort, I was on liquids 3 days, then on pureed/soft food the rest and today was the first time I ate real food, meaning rice, beans, pork, bread, sweets, EVERYTHING!!

I tried researching but no one really talks about eating normal so early in the game so please, please please! I need guidance

I see my doctor on Monday, but I am concerned that something can go bad and I don’t want to end up in the ER on Christmas day.

Wow, I can't believe your even eating all these foods already with no complications or not .

I was told from my dr and nutritionist weeks 1 and 2 liquids, then weeks 3 to week 11 1/4 cup of soft foods (which will take me to around February 9th)

Just because your getting these things down , doesn't mean anything .... You need to let your body heal .. The first month or so is all about HEALING , not losing weight .

Im new too , but I've researched the band for over 2plus years and know it's not good to be eating these foods or eating EVERYTHING, you can stretch your pouch out or cause slippage .

Are you seeing a dietician ? I am and I have a menu she gave for me to follow if you like , I can share it with you ? Thats why were all here , to help each other .. Inbox me . Good luck to you and take it easy ...

FYI, YOU SHOULD STILL BE ON LIQUIDS !!!

I too am ABLE to things that I am not supposed to. I have tried to keep that at a minimum ...except for the holiday work goodies and the eggdrop Soup from the Chinese restaurant. Today I simply recommitted to getting back on track. I am considering everyday to be day one....we can do everything for one day, right?

I am ravenously hungry but I imagine that is b/c I have NOT been drinking my Protein. I have not been able to keep it down until I purchased new ones this week. I find that it has been easier to control myself since I have been back on the shakes. We made this commitment to ourselves b/c we wanted to be achiever our highest good. We all KNOW what we are supposed to be doing... just like we KNEw what to do do lose the weight before the band. It's up to us to DO now.

Wow! I just had surgery Monday and cant even think about food! Not hungry at all. I managed to get down half of a pudding today and cheered for joy! I'm only able to get the jello and water in.
