can i ask for those that have been banded but not yet have restriction or those that can remember back what do you eat on an average day, i have a full appitite and not sure if im overdoing it

Hi Serenity-I remember when I had no restriction and what I did was try to limit my calories and meet the protein requirements my doctor set for me. I used The Daily Plate to keep track of my calories and nutritional needs for me and it really helped. Good luck to you.

I'm 3 weeks post-op so I am no yet filled, my typical days food is....

Breakie - 1 Weetabix with ss milk

lunch - 1 bag Quavers with tablespoon of cottage cheese or 2/3 tin of Soup

dinner - Tablespoon of mash, 2 tablespoons of veg and Gravey with slice of meat blended or 1 fish finger.

For some reason i am quite restricted, not due my 1st fill until 4th November

Hi I was also banded recently and feel the same as you, no restriction. Having been to a couple of group meetings with past bandsters they all say until you get your first fill you wont really feel much different. This time is for your body to heal. I am just trying to be carful i dont overeat. Stick with it. Jue:thumbup:

I was banded just over a week ago, Im mainly on fluids but must admit to having some baby foods at time, the tiny bit of texture seems to make me feel better than being on just fluids which I've found now make me feel sick. Usual day consists of as much water, tea, juice as i want, a baby porrige for breakfast, complan or such like for dinner and tea-time sees another baby food (aged 3-4 months is best - no bits!) then in the evening if i want anything i have it - so far I/ve lost 6kgs over the last week, dont feel hungry but that could be because its still all swollen inside.
