Literally, as I write this, I just put down a bowl of oatmeal with half the bowl still full. because I AM FULL (and kind of nauscious) I never thought in a million years I would ever say this, but it's the most amazing feeling in the world to just STOP and push the bowl away. and not contemplate finishing it. I am done. god bless science!

good for you! it does feel good doesn't it? :-)

Absolutley. But I think I ate too fast lol (20 mins to eat) cuz now I'm kind of nausious and got an instant headache

Hey Sarah,

I am really surprised you are already on oatmeal. I was banded the day after you and I am not supposed to have musies for at least 3 WEEKS! UGGH!! June 12th to be exact, but whose counting? I'm on creamy Soups, Protein drinks (which I HATE) and I did sneak in a pudding cup today... I figured if there aren't any 'obstacles' I should be ok. I am STARVING for real food. It always boggles me how there are so many varieties of diets post op.... you'd think they'd all be the same, ya know?

Everyone's post op diets are different. I was on liquids for three days, pureed foods for four days, now am on soft foods till a month out from surgery.

I too, Sarah, am amazed over how much less I can eat now. I had about two bites of a Breakfast burrito and was stuffed! I think the hardest part is not being able to drink while eating...I was always a "take a bite, take a sip" kind of gal, so this has been tough. But I'm still SO happy to have had this surgery and can't believe I'll eat even less when i get a fill!

I was liquids 2 weeks before, 1 week after, Puree/mush for a week and now I'm transitioning to Softs. by next week I should be starting semi solids.

you all are so lucky! i am on liquids for 3 weeks after surgery then straight to solids... i don't get it!!! and i am DONE with soups!! uggh!! i've moved on to pureed spaghetti sauce. i had to have something ELSE!!

Sa, I'm really surprised they're making you transition that severely. It's a build up. to solids. I'm stumped, and I'm sorry sweetie:frown:

I with you on feeling full. I did not know when to stop and would eat and eat. I did not have an off switch until I had the band "installed".
