Two weeks post-op

Ok, so I'm two weeks out and I don't think there's any restriction in there. So, now I'm confused as to how much I'm suppose to be eating. Am I suppose to eat until I'm full or no more than 1/2 cup at a time? I don't go back to the dr for my first fill until September. I just don't want to sabotage myself. :)

I had my 2 week post op yesterday and my PA told me to get my calories to 1200 (I was previously only able to eat 700-800 each day). She also said meals should be 1/2 -1 cup depending on consistency (1/2 more solid - 1 soup like). You should be satisfied with that amount. I am supplementing with Adkins protein shakes for added calories (boy, what a funny concept for me!). Keep away from high calorie foods - she said one of her clients was eating lobster bisque!!!! Go for nutrient packed foods. My first fill is Sept 1! Good luck to you!!!

I'm three weeks out myself and thoroughly confused. And, I'm worried sick that I'm going to do something to cause my band to slip. I think I've convinced myself I already have! Hang in there! I go to my doctor on Tuesday and hopefully some of my questions will be answered. I've already called my doctors office several times-I would suggest the same if you're really concerned.

Good luck!
