I was banded 12/15/12 and am 9 days post. I starting having solid foods at 3 days post cuz I just couldnt take the hunger anymore. I didnt eat much, maybe 1/4 cup worth through out the day but my surgeons office told me to stay on the liquid diet for at least the full week. I am wondering if anyone else started eating solids that early and if they went on to lose weigth successfully?

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

so when you start mushies, how do you know how much to eat. Ive been eating mushies for a while without any problems. Im just curious how much everyone else eats?

i stop at a cup of food period

its all about (want power). i want to lose weight bad enough that i am willing to do whatever i have too to make it happen and that means following my dr's instructions and eating proper nutrition.
