I'm new here was banded on November 13, so much good info on here. Just curious about the twenty min rule I hear a few of you comment on. Do we stop eating after twenty min even if we haven't finished our 1/2 cup or 1 cup of food?

Some say you can stretch it to 30 minutes, but yes, stop eating at that point. The stomach empties out after that period and if you continue to eat you are essentially beginning a new meal.

I heard it also takes your stomach 20 mins to let your brain know you're full, so if you keep eating past the 20 mins, you might be in serious pain from over fill.

Someone correct me if this is not true.

So what other tips do you have for a newbie? I don't get my first fill isn't until jan 2nd I'm eating 1/2 cup of mushy Protein and either 1/2 cup of veggies. I was told to consume 64grams of protein a day but no more than 4 oz at a time. Feels like I'm going to be drinking non stop. Hard to get all that protein in when your in mushy stage. I drink my Water pretty well no problems there, I have tried adding protein non flavored whey to Soups and potatoes and things like that not very tasty.

I added chocolate protein mix to Greek yogurt with some Splenda. Got almost half the daily protein in by Breakfast.

Yes. I've heard about the 25% thing too. And it has really made me wonder.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
