I got banded the 24th of March I got moved onto mushie but I feel like I'm eating alot...how much should I be eating I stop when I feel that I'm full but they said my stomach would only be 2oz's I know that sometimes I eat more than that in a sitting but it's all like semi-liquid food (cottage cheese) so I don't know if it's slipping through the band or what? Am I worrying to much? I keep thinking it'll be different after my fill and that I'll be on normal food so the band won't hold as much because it's not just sliding through it being normal food that's not mushie. is this logical....maybe I'm rationalizing and overthinking I don't know please help!:smile:

I am so glad you posted this! Thank you!

I was banded 2nd April and I can eat anything - even bread!! I am still trying to eat mushy-ish things so that doesn't help I guess. Going for my 1mth f/up on the 5th I think, so hopefully I get a fill. I am starting to wonder if they have put a band in there!? Feels like nothing has changed!!!!!!! WHAT IF THIS DOESNT WORK!!!

I don't see how you could be eating to much, You had your surgery a week after me, and you've lost lot of weight. I wouldn't worry so much. My doctor said to eat 6 to 8 oz I think I would be hungery all the time if I only ate 4 oz at each meal. I like the idea of the plate you found. Were did you find it? That would certainly help with making sure I don't over eat. Keep in touch
