Thank you everyone! I do use my fitness tracker......i always have left over calories and usually 0 fat. If I dont get all my protein I drink a protein shake to get to goal. I eat alot of soft foods still just cuz I'm scared of gaining. Breakfast 1 cup plain oatmeal.....lunch 1 cup cottage cheese.....dinner 1 cup ff refried beans with ff cheese....no snacks....at least 1liter water daily.....no other drinks except plain coffee in the morning. Protein shake and sugar free popsicle on occasion.

My Dr has never stressed one cup but I think I'm going to start measuring and trying to stick with one cup......3 cups a day of food who would have ever thought I could have just that! Lol

Thank u.....that makes me feel so much better! Sometimes I do the 2 cups and after I can tell it was to much....dont feel sick but dont like the full feeling it gives!

Ugggggg! I've been doing about 1 1/2 cups.....I'm only aloud 3 meals and no snacks.....I'm starving! I dont get my fill till next wed.....it will be 6 weeks!

So is this one cup even before any fills?

Mis 73......u are absolutely amazing to have on here! Thank u for always helping us!

I also have had no fills.

Nope its 12oz....its a big can not standard. I pureed it with ff cheese and light mayo. I felt it was prob to much also but my Dr said it was fine.

Gosh girl I would need a drink after reading these posts! Lol Im 5 weeks out and I'm considering having a drink....maybe two very soon!

Wow I feel guilty but my dr said it wasn't to much. I eat a twelve oz can of tuna for dinner.

My Dr said drinking wouldnt due any harm to the band.....it would just hurt my weight loss.

I was given them during my stay in the hospital. I had just finished my tom and woke up the next morning and had started all over again.....so my tom lasted two weeks due to two shots in one day! That stuff works! Lol

I am at 4 weeks post op....i went through all your same emotions. Day three was a complete break down day....I thought I made the biggest mistake ever! Day 6 I started researching and scared myself so bad that I barely wanted to eat cuz I was scared I would mess up my band.....I cried so many times! Today I feel so much better.....I'm happy again about my decision on getting lap band. Of course I still am scared of messing it up or not losing but each day my worries lesson some. Hang in there dont believe eveything u read and follow the rules and I think u won't regret your decision down the road!

I got a nice little gift bag at my post op appt.....one of the gifts was a plastic bariatric surgery cup with straw! Lol thought that was funny now that I've heard were not suppose to drink of straws!

I have to agree.....find a new Dr! I like a strict Dr. but that is just off the charts! I agree that a Dr should push his patients but come on thats ridiculous!

Lol u made me giggle!

Thank u! Sounds good!

I'm starting my 4th week post op.....what kind of exercise should I be doing at this stage?

I'm 3 weeks post op and scared to death I will eat to much. I'm eating a cup to two cups of mushies at each meal......no snacks.

Thanks! I'm learning so much thanks to you all!

This morning I tried to eat my oatmeal slow and even tried counting 20 chews each time.....i had no pain this time! Woooo hoooo! Its so hard to take your time eating when your life seems to be on a time schedule......i need to get up earlier so I can not rush my breakfast and bring my lunch so I can use the whole break to eat.

I'm trying to learn how to post.

I had that problem too! Mine lasted about a week! It will get better!
