NewMeDebbie 196 Posted October 8, 2013 Just a thought. Try adding some Fiber. When I was pre-band that always worked for me to help curb hunger. I add a little now but not as much. That could be one thing helping me out now. There is no way I could eat a can of Soup. I had about 1/4 cup of pinto Beans last night and thought I was going to die. I had over done it and was not hungry again till this morning. wow, see i knew i was able to eat too much! I'm eating slow and still able to eat more than I thought I would be able to. Not as much as I used to be able to but more than I expected... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrie.0508 136 Posted October 8, 2013 I can eat about 1/2 cup of packed food. Less of solids though. I got about 1/4 cup chili down last night. Headed out with the hubby for a dinner date to a BBQ place. Planning on pulled chicken and green Beans.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewMeDebbie 196 Posted October 8, 2013 if i measure out the progresso Soup it comes to 2 cups but that is the broth and all. I'm thinking maybe the broth is helping wash it down faster? Maybe I should try something more solid - I think I will try some tuna for lunch tomorrow and see how that goes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arch002 34 Posted October 8, 2013 Debbie I have had tuna the last 2 days for lunch and it has been very satisfying. Good luck. Hugh temptations at work for me today. Bagels brought in for lunch. Then pizza for lunch. Cake pops to top it off. It was a rough day. Tomorrow looks to be the same, with qdoba for lunch... 1 MzEboni912 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5.0junkie 770 Posted October 9, 2013 So how has eating and drinking been going for you all? Pretty tuff to get used to for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy Carter 67 Posted October 9, 2013 I am doing fine on the portion size, but the types of food I am allowed to eat is about to kill me. I am tired of all the foods I can have. I would like to have a little bread or crackers, but I have until next week before I can have those. Guess tonight I may have some mashed potatoes and gravy and some fruit.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arch002 34 Posted October 9, 2013 I am getting pretty full on a cup as long as it has plenty of substance to it. Had spaghetti sauce with a little ground hamburger in it tonight. Very satisfying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeorgiaRN 36 Posted October 9, 2013 So far everything is working well - drinking and eating with no problems. I'm getting full on anywhere from 1/2- 1 cup food. Depends on day and time. I'm eating more than I was to begin with but considerably less than I was prior to band. All in all I guess it's good. Still working on the mental aspect of all this and forcing myself to make good choices! 1 MzEboni912 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5.0junkie 770 Posted October 9, 2013 I guess what I should have asked is how is eating and not drinking going? The whole not drinking while eating and waiting to drink is tough. Had some chili tonight and it was super spicy. Had to to just suck it up. 1 arch002 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
