So I was banded Nov 3, 08. The first four weeks after surgery were not so bad I guess I had a lot of inflammtion due to also having a huge hiatal hernia repaired with mesh. After that though I thought I would starve to death. I had a four cc fill six weeks after surgery and I still feel like I'm eating more than I should be able to. I have only been sick once and that was new yrs eve after eating a shrimp and scallops both pretty dry. To date my weight loss is 31 pounds,an average day for me is breakfast- egg beater 1/4 cup, sometimes on the weekend I'll also have 1/4 to 1/2 cup fried potatoes, lunch-2-3oz chicken with 1/2 cup cottage cheese or a small salad, dinner- 2-4 oz meat,chicken or fish. veggies 1/2 cup 2 tbs to 1/2 cup potates or pasta. If I have a snack it is usually low cal popcorn occas. one hershys kiss, or 1/2 cup oatmeal or a protein drink. Anyone who has more experience with this Please tell me am I overeating not losing as much as I should be I'm terrified I will fail at this like every other time I"ve dieted.:thumbup:
