hello!

My name is kelly too! I had 5 cc in my band and all I could keep down was mashed potatos and cereal lol I had 3 cc's removed and now I am a bottomless pitt...go figure! So I am going back for a fill but the doc said he is going to take it slow at .5 each time...I couldn't deal with the tight band for 18 monhs I did nothing but vomit (I finanlly went in and had it fixed)...hopefully you can find a happy medium too! If I were you I would stay away from anything with skin or anything fiberous like hard veggies or white meat. Good luck and keep me posted!

I have 6 ccs in my 10 cc band....and I can still eat what ever I try to.....good thing I have will power....

I have 5 cc until today and now 5.6 cc in my band. I eat around 850 - 1000 calories a day. I eat on a small side plate and keep the food to taht size. I measure out carbs (rice and pasta) to 1/4 cup (more like a small taste). I eat protien first and a side salad or broccoli as filler. I usually eat greek yogart in the morning. I have also found that on days I am very hungry that refried black beans (1/4 - 1/2 cup) really helps fill me up and curbs the hunger. Plus it is protien as well. I log everything everyday and that seems to be the one thing that keeps me on track. If I have a bad day, I log it too so I can see how just a few bites here and there add up. It keeps me accountable.

I struggle somedays but it is more good days than bad. Weekends are a mental challenge for me b/c my family eats worse. SO it is a work in progress for me. Each weekend I do better I tell myself I am making good changes. I try not to go to the negative place in my head when I dont do well.

I hope that helps.
