I'm starting over after having surgery to fix a slip. I just can't seem to find that sweet spot.

I feel like I'm eating to much. I'm having a shake in the morning and mid morning. Maybe

Salad and soup for lunch. Dinner tonight I had a bowl of stew little while later another shake. I had

A late night 1/2cup cereal. I've been to full twice so I want to give it some time. I just had my fill

Last week. Wanted to see how much everybody else was eating. Thank you and good luck with

Your band.

After a fill 1 day full liquids and then 1 day mushies.

Curious as to why you are drinking 3 shakes? Not sure what kind they are or how many calories but it seems like a lot to me. of course my dr isn't an advocate of shakes.... Except on the pre op and post op liquid only diet of course..... He prefers I get my Protein from food and not shakes which pass right thru the band.

At every meal I eat 3/4 oz of protein' date=' 1/2 c of veggie/salad and 1/4 c of starch. I usually cannot finish it.[/quote']

That is a lot of shakes! They go right thru the band. My doctor told me no more shakes after the initial period after surgery. He also prefers getting back to "real life" and eating real food.

I have a question.. after a fill' date='is it ok to eat although the Dr says not too.. I'm hungry

My Dr. Said to eat Soup first 12-24 hours after a fill. BUT... Tell your Dr. And work with him. That is what he is there for and should advise you on any concerns or problems your having. Good luck!
