Hi All- I've been banded for 3 weeks and today was my first day of solids. For Breakfast I had a spoon of Peanut Butter and about 4 saltines. For lunch, some shredded chicken and salad- chewed to death. Dinner- 4 oz. Steak and a small side salad and a small order of steamed veggies. It was a kids meal. Did I eat too much? It all went down fine. I could have kept going but, once I gave it a minute I was very satisfied. How much is too much?

Thanks,

Julia

I'm addicted to this site. You all are fun.

I sounds like you did great. It's hard to say what is too much before your first fill. If it hurts, if you PB or if you feel stuffed it's too much. As long as you make good food choices, eat slowly, and stop when you are satisfied you can't do too much wrong.

If you start to find yourself eating more before becoming satisfied, that's ok for now since you don't have a fill yet.

Thanks Linda. That's good to know.

My doctor has recommended not to eat steak for a long while. I have read on here it is the toughest of all foods for most to eat. You might want to remember that for after your fill. It doesn't appear you had any trouble with it though.

Great to know. Thanks. I chewed it to death. Julia
