I looked through this part of the forum, and didn't see a thread like this.

I go for my first fill on July 5th, so I don't have any restriction yet.

During the 'mushy' diet stage, my nutritionists were very firm about only having 4 -5 oz. of food per meal, 3 meals per day. My understanding is that, once I'm at my 'sweet spot', that's how much I'll eat...about a 1/4 cup of food per meal.

Just wondering if that's pretty much what folks have...that's two tablespoons of a Protein and two tablespoons of a fruit or veggie.

thanks,

please try not to drink until about 1 to 1 1//2 hours after eating-0-you are washing the food out of the pouch into the lower stomach. I was told from the beginning to eat 1 cup of food three times a day--no snacking.....inbetween I drink anything I please, mostly no or low calorie. NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I could do this!! Down over 100lbs!! Banded by Woody Denham ENH on 6/13/06

I got my band on 5/23/07 i was 335lbs now im 285...im trying to stick to a low fat low carb low cal. diet..i just got my first fill 2 weeks ago....after i could eat regular food again i tested the waters with a slice of pizza...Man that was a mistake....since then i eat oatmeal in the morn..which fills me up a lil bit...a salad for lunch which fills me up,but i still dont feel any restrictions...and for dinner some kind meat. Tonight we had chicken cardon blue....i had a whole chicken breast (small) and some green beans...i felt full,but no restrictions...every once in a while i might feel something get stuck,but thats it....am i eating too much? i just dont understand what i should be feeling...im just getting in the habbit of telling myself thats enough food..did i stretch my ban or something? i dont know..sometimes its just too much stuff to think about....I know before the band i would of had 2 pieces of chicken so i guess thats a good way to look at it.
