One week out and eating soft solids

[happy&blessed 1]

I am one week out and started eggs and other soft foods yesterday. I feel good. Small bites, 20 min meals, small amounts. I'm worried that my band isn't tight enough because I get hunger cravings a lot. I also feel the bloated feeling after a few bites. No vomiting. Am I okay?

You're doing great! It could take several fills to get enough restriction to keep you satisfied with what you're eating, but keep on this course.

When you get hungry between meals drink a lot of fluids, also try to keep yourself busy, it does help.

Keep it up !

The bloated feeling is your new full. Don't push it!

Best wishes to you and your wife. Be glad that you can have soft solids. My surgeon makes us do 10 days clear and 10 days full liquids before we can go to mushies. (Not that I remember, but my son-in-law just had surgery Nov 30). He was excited to go on full liquids, but can't wait for mushies, too! Congrats, again, Karen

Congrats to both of you. You are doing well. The bloating is your signal that you are full. Drink lots of fluids you will do great.

Your band is probably empty. You won't feel full/satisfied from small portions until you get fills.
