I was banded on Jan. 16th and have a question about the amount of food I should be eating. I thought the diet clinic told me that I would only be able to eat 1/2 cup at a time. Well I am eating about a cup at each meal. I have had one episode of slimming (with pain) ate a piece of corn bread, I know that is a no-no, but I just thought I would try it, NEVER AGAIN, the pain was awful until I got rid of the bread!

I am still putting everything through the blender to make sure it goes through my band. I am still having some discomfort in my chest area, I think I had a hernia repair but won't know until I see the surgeon for my first appt. next Monday. I have lost 14lbs so far!:ohmy:

I was banded on Jan 16, 2009 and I am currently on soft foods. I am only allowed 1/4 cup of food 3 times a day. It was the same for liquids and I will only be allowed 1/4 cup of food per day when I go on maintenance. I have lost 35lbs so far.
