I finally did it...my lil chunky self...I was banded 2/18/13...my first fill was on 3/18/13....I am down 34 pounds...I weighed my tuna yesterday and consumed 4oz it was all good..then later on I decided to have tuna again but time I just eyeballed it...uh oh...I overate and I am still freaking miserable today! When does this feeling pass? I decided to crank up the liquids today...Team Sasha needs a lil help...I have never thrown up since being banding...I just feel so miserably...uggggh...the band is no joke!

Congrats on being banded! I haven't had that issue yet, but I'm sure I will the first few times too. I'm only 7 days post op. I'm sure we all will go through that over eating phase and realize what we can and can't eat and how fast of slow we need to eat, it's prob bc of the full too. Good luck to you and congrats again on taking the first step towards a new life.

@carolinagirl...thank you for the love and I decided give my stoma a break today...I went back to liquids...I will keep u all informed.

That's awesome. Is that lost weight since your surgery or with pre op? I was banded on 2-14 and have only lost 15 since surgery, and 20 pre op. just curious since I feel like 15 since surgery is not enough. Haven't had a fill yet.

It will pass! Lesson learned, measure your food. I am a year post op and still measure my food. The eye is not very good in the measuring department. lol

Your body will let you know when it is hungry again, just listen to it. If doing liquids makes you feel better then go for it, but I don't think you hurt anything and need to do liquids.

It is a learning experience. remember the first feeling you got before you felt over fill, that was your soft stop. Next time, stop when you feel that.

Good luck to you.

PS I am still learning, it never ends.

hang in there cutie..doing fab....

When I go food shopping and buy meats, fish, chicken, I have the butcher etc. weigh my food and then I have the right amounts. I don't measure my salads and I usually have one every day. But then I don't use dressing on it either.

​You will do fine. If a tuna can says 6 oz, divide it in 1/2. I always divide, like when I make meat balls (I am tomorrow) I know I have one pound of meat and that is 4 meals worth. My husband doesn't eat meat, he has turkey balls.

You will get the hang of it.

Do your band gives you a signal that it's getting full. I get the hiccups when I am full. At first I didn't realize hiccups was a sign until I started paying attention. I noticed that if I continued to eat after the hiccups, I was miserable. No after the first hiccup, I STOP.
