Mushies Question

[sshaw9126 0]

I just started eating mushies this past weekend. I am having a problem with being full. I stop eating when I feel full, but am hungry again about an hour later. Does this mean that I am not eating enough? My doctor tells me that I should only be eating 3 meals a day.

At about that time you should be starting on liquids. I know sometimes when I'm hungry it's just that I'm thirsty. After I drink a glass of Water I feel fine.

This, my friend, is known as Bandster Hell. It's the time between getting banded and your first fill which will provide the restriction. There's nothing wrong with you! You're just in 'hell'....LOL

Bandster hell only 10 days after surgery? That seems really soon to me!

Shannon, I am feeling the same the thing as you and also only two weeks from Band Day. I don't know if I am doing this correct but I have been having a popsicle at this time. Sometimes I have two. It is frightening, as I am afraid I will slip back to my old bad ways. I was watching my weight drop a pound everyday for nine days after Band Day, now I am at a stand still. Also having a big problem with the Protein Powder. Soon as I injest it I get this "BUBBLE" feeling in my tummy. Feels Like Im a baby who needs burped and having a colic attack.

that bubble feeling is you drinking to fast probably slow down. Also my doctor told me not to worry about how often i ate until i got to the solid foods. I was eating every one to three hours partically cause i was afraid to eat enough in the begining.

i too am at that stage.. i am almost 2 weeks post op and i sometimes worry that i am eating too much b/c i am eating more then i was the first week....

but then i stop and realize how much i am really eating compared to what i was before and realize it is probably ok. As soon as i got on mushies i think i went a lil crazy.. i was so tired of broth.. lol now I am just trying to stick to my portion size better.. even with my little crazy stent i didn't gain any of my weight back so i think it is ok.

Hope we can all just make it until we get our fill!

Good luck everybody!

I also just started mushies this past wknd and I also am getting hungry and finding I am not full after the 4 oz. I am allowed. Is the 4 oz. typical for everyone else?
