I was wondering how much food everyone eats and how long they are full or satisfied or whatever you want to call it? Or how long until your hungry again?

Okay so I ate 3 oz of food for lunch. I got full before I even finished it, but I finished it anyway. It was one scrambled egg and one peice of sausage which I then weighed out. Two and a half hours later, I'm starving. Since I got full so quick, shouldn't the feeling last so much longer than 2 and a half hours???

No. I wait an hour at least after eating to have a drink.

I do. 1000 calories, for breakfast I eat 1 scrambled eggs and 2 oz sausage, for lunch the serving size of deli meat and cheese, for dinner, 3 Oz chicken or beef or pork and 2 Oz veggies.

I know this won't be encouraging but the next month is going to be hell. For me, right after surgery for about a week or two while everything was swollen and healing, I had no apatite. Once I moved to squishy foods, I was starving all the time. I even gained weight. Once I started my fills, I didn't notice a difference until I had 6 ccs in my 10 cc band. But I gained weight up until that point. Then I started losing again because I started having the restriction that I had right after surgery. But just know, there is ways you can eat around the band. I would feel not hungry, but keep eating anyway and as long as I ate small bites chewed through then I can get as much as I want. Get it into your mind that food is fuel not anything else. Once you get the hang of the lifestyle change of your eating it's easy.

I know this probably isn't the best but I didn't follow my preoperative diet until 3 days before surgery. Then I went on a total water and protein shake diet and everything went fine. Just saying.
