Thanks everyone that's exactly what I assumed... I can eat a cup of food 1 minute bites. It's after that I feel that I ate too much.. I gonna eat a 2/3 to see if it has the same effect.. Then take it from there.. I just got very caught up on doing things exactly as directed instead of listening to my body 100% of the time.. Everyday since surgery has been a learning experience for me lol

Oh I do usually measure in cups But what I meant was.. Even after measuring.. About 5-10 mins after I eat.. I feel extremely fulI.. (Like i have to sit down and relax a few to digest) i don't know if this is normal because I always over ate my entire life and I'm new to being banded so i dont know if this is normal.. Should I cut down my amount of food maybe to a 3/4 cup or is that just gonna be too little?

Please help me clear up my mind

My motto.. Submit it to your accountant and see what happens!

The cup of food is much easier to stick to when your back on solids.. I could have eaten out the house on mushies! I was soo hungry..

It doesn't seem like such a good idea because you not going to be getting enough Protein... There are many low-cal high protein Meal Replacement powders out there that linger around 130-150 calories.. It's trial and error to find one u like

How much Protein does your surgeon wAnt u to take in? Because the ensure that has 26 G protein has 350 calories.. My dr wanted me to take in 100g that would have been like 1400 calories when he only wanted me to have about 1000..

A major reason why I gained so much weight that i needed to get the lapband.. I never realized how often I confused thirst with hunger, until, these past 2 weeks! I don't understand how I never realized this.. I used to eat a large meal and feel "hungry" an hour later.. If I would have listened to my body and not my brain maybe I wouldn't have been on the same situation I am today! Things that make you go hmmm!

I can't wait to get my ring resized again lol my jeweler is gonna be pissed -
I wouldn't worry too much right now a about eating 800-1000 calories.. During the phase your at I was eating around 500-600 because I was still healing.. When your on reg food again.. You have to figure out what your dr/nut want you at.. Some people consume 1000-1200.. Some people 800-1000

Quite a few people I've spoken to had emotional breakdowns in the beginning.. It's better that its happening now than after surgery! Try to get in more of your Protein shakes.. If your having a hard time try one from Jamba juice.. They make awesome "protein shakes fir beginners" Utilize your veggies during this stage... I never enjoyed broccoli and Brussels sprouts so much in my life.. And salad!!! Yummn ud be surprised how many good fat free dressing there are You just have to start looking at things from a different perspective! -

I had a real hard time the first 2 days.. But once the swelling went down I felt better.. Call your surgeon tomorrow if you still can't hold anything down -

Primary Care Physician??
dani_nyc replied to Bell1138's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never heard of a pcp saying no... That is absolutely crazy. This is pretty standard for any type of surgery. I would start looking for different pcp's... In the mean time explain the situation to your surgeon they can probably refer you to someone -
My doctor wanted me to wait until at least my 4 week appointment so he can make sure everything was healing right

McDonald's premium grilled chicken without the mayo and without the bun is 210 calories 9 grams of fat, 34 carbs, 28 Protein, and 80 calories from fat. That's why myfitnesspal and my plate are great cause you know exactly what u are eating Some of those salads at McDonald's are like 600 calories lol talk about false sense of security And here's a article on low calorie cocktails http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/2008/12/5-best-low-calorie-cocktails#slide=1
