So I can't have anything but liquid for breakfast, I eat usually 4-5oz of meat and 1/4c of smashed califlower or something like that for lunch, and for supper I can eat a regular small meal. Like last night I had half of a small butternut squash (not quite half) and about 1 cup of smashed cauliflower....Is this more than most of you eat in a day or about right? I feel like it should tighter, but I don't want to mess with it if It's right? How much to you guys consume at a time.:confused2:

My opinion is that you do not need a fill. My reason for this is that you can't eat solids in the morning. If you get any tighter you may not be able to even drink in the morning and may not be able to eat at lunch. It is a personal decision and I prefer to eat solid food. Are you losing weight? How long after a meal before you are hungry?

I can eat solid food pretty much all day but I am not hungry for 4-6 hours after I eat. Small portions fill me up. I am losing 1-2 pounds per week and I am happy with that.

You may still have some swelling from surgery, it's hard to say if you'll need a fill once you get 4-6 weeks out or however long your doctor requires.

Are you sure it's OK for you to be eating meat only 2 weeks post-op?? That's unusual!

Your doctor should have told you when to come in for your first fill. It's usually no sooner than 4-6 weeks.

I can only eat about 3/4c. of food at a time... and if I'm eating meat, it's usually only a couple of ounces. I'm very tight right now.

I puree it.

I just wasn't sure. Thank you all for your comments. I go to the Dr today and I am not sure what the appointment is about, when they told me I was still in the hospital so I was kind of out of it, I just remember the date because I wrote it down. I have lost about 20lbs, I will find out for sure at 10:15 today, I dont trust my scale.

If you are losing on the volume you are okay. If not, I would get a fill. I can only eat up to 2 oz of protein at once and am fine with that. Good luck.

I am losing. I have another doctors appt. April 17th, so If I haven't lost anymore weight by then well I will fill it and if not, why mess with something that is working. I guess the volume of food is not as important as the results peroid. If I can eat more and still lose weight I will continue until I need to change it.

Thank you everyone for you help. The Doctors appt today was just to check my scars and talk about food.
