lulac thanks for your reply back... I totally agree with what you say i try to stay with a restriction that allows me to eat smaller portions still loose weight and feel comfortable eating whatever it is i eat im not about trying to get soo tight i cant enjoy my food and im just grumpy all the time been there and done that.. anywho thanx again for responding

lulac just wonering if you can eat your cereal with milk and a pb&j with milk why is it such a big deal not to eat and drink? im just asking because sometimes i finish eating and im soooo thirsty and ill drink some water sometimes even a few sips with my food and my family yells at me :thumbdown: whats your take on it?

i have not posted for a while. I keep making excuses i guess :cursing: well i need to start posting again bc i thinks it well help me along this journey if i do breakfast-4 oz omelette with turkey bacon, onions and bell peppers, 10 med subes of watermelon Lunch-1 banana and 8 oz milk and some watermelon Snack-(maybe) watermelon or crackers Dinner-4 oz meat with some beans and guacamole yummy!!:cursing: BANDED 2/9/09 AND LOVING IT!!!

so i was banded on 2/9/09 so im almost 12 weeks out....everything about the surgery went great and i was up and ready in no time i was doing really great when i went in for my 1 week post op i had lost 13lbs and i was loving it:thumbup:!! i went in 4 weeks late on march 9th and got my first fill 2cc in a 10cc band...after the first fill everything was pretty normal my portion sizes were ok i guess i could eat about 4-6 oz of food and then a med fruit like an apple with no hunger in between. Some time after my first fill (maybe like week 2) i started to get hungry in between meals but still kept my eating to a minimum so when i went back for my 2 month post op appt on the 15 of april i had lost 17 lbs!!:thumbup: my doctor thought that was great and so did i but gave me a fill anyway because i said i was hungry in between meals and thats when it all began after that 2nd fill everything would get stuck!! even mashed potatoes i could drink liquids just fine and i did not pb or anything(almost did once i gagged but nothing came up) but all my food was getting stuck so i lost another 3lbs in 4 days i was so frustrated that i could not eat anything that i went in and got 1/2 of a cc taken out so now almost one week after that im hungrier than i was before i was "overfilled" for example today i ate 1 cup of coffee with some pound cake (bad food choice) for lunch i ate about 6 oz spaghetti and 1/2 a flour tortilla (anothr bad food choice:frown:) for a snack i had 1 string cheese and about 12 crackers then for snack number two i had a s.f ice cream sandwich (100 cal) and for dinner i had 4oz deli meat (turkey rolled up with avacodo inside and 16 crackers and about 12 small cubes of melon which i think is waaaay too much food so now im starting to think that getting that unfill was a mistake maybe i was not really overfilled:cursing: im really lost with this situation right now i dont know whats normal as far as portion and since the unfill i have not felt "full" i only stop eating becase i know i should not eat more...its also that time of the month and wondering if that has anything to do with it??? please help im a little dissapointed in myself right now bc of that unfill :thumbup:
