I know it's early, but wondering if there's any one else getting ready to get banded in September? I have one more Ins required weigh in Aug 19 then my paperwork gets submitted for approval!

I was already told I'm on the schedule for September 27! Fingers crossed!

I can eat about 1/2 cup of packed food. Less of solids though. I got about 1/4 cup chili down last night. Headed out with the hubby for a dinner date to a BBQ place. Planning on pulled chicken and green beans.

if i measure out the progresso soup it comes to 2 cups but that is the broth and all. I'm thinking maybe the broth is helping wash it down faster? Maybe I should try something more solid - I think I will try some tuna for lunch tomorrow and see how that goes...

let me know how that goes? how much you are able to eat?

Debbie I have had tuna the last 2 days for lunch and it has been very satisfying.

Good luck.

Hugh temptations at work for me today. Bagels brought in for lunch. Then pizza for lunch. Cake pops to top it off. It was a rough day. Tomorrow looks to be the same, with qdoba for lunch...

temptation is definitely tough at the moment...tuna it is tomorrow!

So how has eating and drinking been going for you all? Pretty tuff to get used to for me.

I am doing fine on the portion size, but the types of food I am allowed to eat is about to kill me. I am tired of all the foods I can have. I would like to have a little bread or crackers, but I have until next week before I can have those. Guess tonight I may have some mashed potatoes and gravy and some fruit.

I am getting pretty full on a cup as long as it has plenty of substance to it. Had spaghetti sauce with a little ground hamburger in it tonight. Very satisfying.

i hate it! Lol

So far everything is working well - drinking and eating with no problems. I'm getting full on anywhere from 1/2- 1 cup food. Depends on day and time. I'm eating more than I was to begin with but considerably less than I was prior to band. All in all I guess it's good. Still working on the mental aspect of all this and forcing myself to make good choices!

Tuna saved gnu life today !!! Good it felt so good to eat it...I out it in my Ninja and puréed it

Ha let me try that again !! Saved my life and I puréed it lol autocorrect got me

I agree with you.

I guess what I should have asked is how is eating and not drinking going? The whole not drinking while eating and waiting to drink is tough. Had some chili tonight and it was super spicy. Had to to just suck it up.

let me know how that goes? how much you are able to eat?

Went really good. I had about 1/4 cup of chicken and 6-7 fried green beans. I find I am way hungrier at night where as in the morning it takes me 2-3 hours to get down a 16 oz protein shake. I know fried green beans may not have been the healthiest choice but I still was at about 800 calories for the day.
