It took me at least 30 per meal. lunch took almost an hour. If I ate everything I think it would take an hour to eat, but I'm still getting full off of about 1/2 a cup. Which is good, except my scale is boycotting weight loss this past week. Grr. How many calories a day are you eating? I wanted to get to 800 today but only managed 630. I just wasn't hungry or got full. I wonder if I could possibly still be swollen. It's hard to think so little food fills me up.

its taking me at least that long as well... especially with meat as i chew a lot longer and wait longer in between mouthfuls. Aat lunchtime it took me 3/4 of an hour. Im having a half cup. trying to keep it at that. Im hungry enough to eat the lot at the moment. its just im so slow. You could be a bit swollen still.... its not that long since you were banded. it takes at least six weeks - two months for initial swelling to subside. i dont think i have much swelling now . im a month on the 22.. two days away. i do feel some restriction though so there must be some there but not much i dont think.

im having fish tonight. just trying to work out on myfitnesspal the weight of my fish so i can add it to my chart. it looks as if , when i work it all out, im still down on calories. im only supposed to have 1000 a day at the moment.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
