We have to limit our portions so we dont stretch out the pouch. Dont you feel full after 1/2 cup. I feel full but after 2 hrs Im hungry again.Plus it really does help us for future adjustments. Because we wont beagle to even eat 1/2 cup at first. At least this is what I have heard from co workers who have had the surgery. It will better..... Any walking really helps.........

Good Morning, I am still on mushie and also very hungry. I am eating about 1/2 cup of food every 2hrs. When two hours comes I am starving. Iam making good choices. 1 egg in am,protein drink,yogurt,cottage cheese, I have processed chicken and mixed with mashed potatoe and on the side a little butternut squash. That was all a total of 1/2 cup. I am walking about 5 1/2 miles aday. But I spread it out once in the am and pm. That really helps keep my mind off being hungry. Where is your kidney pain? I have a pain on my left side in front that really bothers me when I walk. Dr. said it was muscle tissue from the port.

Hey Wtf, I am in the same time line you are. I have lost 20 lbs and holding. I am eating mushie. What I do is eat about every two and onehalf hours(about a half cup) I am hungry.:smile: But drink water in between that help alot to keep you feeling full. I go for my first fill on 10/29. I hope I can stay on mushie till then. Good luck to you and lets keepeach other posted. Melanie:thumbup:

Great Job 5 pounds in two weeks is good. My goel is 10 pounds a month. That is a really healthy weight loss. Keep up the "great" work. Melanie / California

Great Job, I was also banded 9/29. Can you geive me an idea of what you are eating and how much Thanks not sure where Im at with my quanity. Melanie

Im sorry for your pain. I was banded 9/29/2008 I had terrible gas know what you are going through. It does get better. I thing the gas was the worst part. Walk Walk ----- also no straws they make even more gas. My dr. didnt tell be that so the first two days after the hospital I drank with a straw. Hope you feel better.

Good Morning Smashing Pumkins, How are you doing after surgery? Noticed date was 10?1 hope everything went well. Melanie

Yea Its great to hear from someone going through the same time frame. If you know what I mean. Hows your day going? Im feeling weak Tried to go for a walk alot of pain

Hi I was banded 9/29 also. I think its gas built up. I feel like i need to burp but nothing comes out. How much fluid are you drinking?? Not sure Im gteting enough and Dr. never gave me an amount

your list of fluids for the first two weeks really helped. Im 4 days post oper. and not feeling good at all today. Ive only had 2 oz every two hours of water, broth and protein drink. Thank you so much maybe this will help me
