I was banded on 10/15, lost eleven pounds my first week! I just started the "mushy" foods stage, and I feel like I can eat so much! Nothing like what I could eat before, but Im so scared to gain the weight I lost my first two weeks, that it consumes my thoughts with each bite I take. Am I being paranoid?

As the swelling goes down you will get hungrier, your band isn't working for you right now, so you have to be conscience of what you are eating...........follow your dr's instructions and you will be fine.

yes so stop

there is no need

eat and feed your body and stop worrying about gaining until at least a month post op

stressing over things wont do you any good. you are still recovering from major surgery

i agree with wild..just do what your dr advised and you will be fine

You will get there. As you heal you will get fills to help you. Right now it is on you to do what you know you should! Actually it will always be on you. Not to be depressing, but one thing I do know, stressing will make you eat more! So I'm with CarolinaGirl, STOP!

I am on pureed foods right now and find I am starting to get hungry in between meals.

I am still sticking to my allotted amount of food so I dont do anything to harm my band or my chances of losing weight.

I start soft food on Saturday so I am hoping that may help a little.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
