:help: I was banded march 7th and have had 2 fills for a total fill of 1.5. Everything I read says eat about 1/2 cup of food per meal...that this should fill you up....I know I can eat more than that.....I eat about 3-4 oz of Protein and about a 1/2 cup of veggies.....sometimes a little more......is something wrong........i know i don't have good restriction yet, but even so, should i only be able to eat 1/2 cup! Please advise. 242/232/193/134 goal

:help: I was banded on March 7th and have had 2 fills for a total of 1.5 ccs. I read that I am only supposed to eat about 1/2 a cup of food. I know I eat more than that at one setting.....I eat about 3-4 oz of Protein and 1/2 cup of veggies or fruit.......Am I screwing up or what.....I am loosing weight, be it slow, but am I stretching my pouch...I don't feel too full.....what is up......why am I not full at 1/2 cup of food......I weighed 242 in December, starved myself to 232 at banding and now weigh 193, but even though I am loosing i feel that I am doing it wrong, because I eat more than it says i should.....any advise?:hungry: i am confused.

Thanks for the info, its good to know there are others who are able to eat more than what the information packets say....I feel fine, am loosing weight, but just to be safe I will ask the doctor this month.

Thats all I am doing, I am just shocked that eat more than all of the materials allow.....I know my nutritionalist is going to have a fit when she hears the amount I am eating....but how can she fuss, when I am still losing weight (be it slowing 1 pound a week). I eat until I feel full......I just don't understand why I am not full at 1/2 cup like all the materials state......are you full at 1/2 cup?
