The restriction won't come until at least your second fill... I think I consumed more during the first week post-op than I did weeks 2 and 3. You're still healing, so be careful! String cheese and eggs keeps me from being hungry and both count as mushies.

try a snack of string cheese or maybe almonds instead of popcorn... more protein and satisfies that kind of salty craving. You need more protein to keep up with two little kids! That would be enough to make my hair thinner. :-)

I just got my first fill today, and emotional me has huge expectations, while logical me knows to prepare for some slow steady weight loss. You are NOT going to fail and are on the right track! Logical you has it all under control and has taken the first huge important steps towards shrinking and being healthier!

Way to go! I haven't been burping, but I have the strangest hiccups that appear out of nowhere, and they don't seem to be related to when I ate or drank something. I haven't started back on veggies or anything like that yet. I believe I read somewhere it was more common due to the small stomach pouch being full. I sure don't feel full, but I feel a big hiccup like I was hit by a truck!
