I am almost 2 weeks post op. Everything is going great except I think I might be eating too much. I am eating only what is allowed on my diet (what they call ploppy food) but I am eating more of it than I should be. So far today I had a pack of oatmeal really watered down for breakfast, one of the pre-packaged sf jello, one pre-packaged smooth applesauce, 26 ounces of water. It is now almost 2:00 and one cup of decaf hot tea. This is stupid but I just didn't pay attention to the amount I was eating. Just making sure what I am eating is on my list. But now I am afraid I might stretch my pouch. Do you think I did? I am going to measure how much a pre-packaged sf jello actually is but I think it is more than the 1/4 cup I should have had. I know the oatmeal is because of how watery I made it. I feel so stupid.

Ur doing fine...Everything sounds right with what ur doing dont worry...i eat a 1/4 cup to a 1/2 cup..im allowed to eat 3 meals a day and have 3 snacks...ur doing great keep up the good work

I think you're doing fine, I am also almost two weeks out and I feel like sometimes I am eating tons. But if you're like me you haven't had a fill yet and so the restriction is minimal and the thinner foods that we are eating are going straight through and are not hanging out in the pouch. But that is what is supposed to happen, the time between the surgery and your first fill is a healing time and a time for your body to get used to the foreign object that was placed in you. Initially your stomach was probably inflamed from the band which made you less hungry and satisfied quicker. But now that you are healing it will almost be like you never had the band, I get hungry every few hours even after having a Slimfast, pudding, yogurt and broth (that was my lunch yesterday)! You are doing great! Good luck!
