vent away - i might have been odd man out, but i had to have 8 fills (8.5ccs) before i got restriction.....it was a LONG wait, so i understand!!

It's reassuring to know that I am not the only odd man out when it comes to not having much restriction in the beginning. Thanks.

Well, I've had 1 fill - 4cc in 10cc band. I feel a bit of restriction but I cannot believe how little you guys are eating. Do you feel full or just decide thats all you're going to eat? I guess I am anxious to eat less but kinda scared too - it goes so much against what I've been taught to do - you know food groups, fruit, veggies , meat for a meal. That kind of thing. Breakfast yesterday - 2 toast thinly sliced (homemade bread) with p butter, snack - sliced peaches, yog and a few nuts, lunch - 1 slice pizza ( my boss buys pizza lunch for everyone, last thurs of every month) snack - repeat peaches, yogurt, and supper - french onion Soup and 1/2 grilled cheese. Whoa - when I write it down and look at it, this is a lot of food!!. So do I consciously look at portions here or when I have better restriction this will take care of itself. BTW, I am hungry for this - no force feeding necessary. Please help.

both,:tongue2: i'd start journaling & measuring your food @ each meal. i find if i'm not eating at home & can measure, i will eat more. i use my measuring cups as my serving spoons & use a salad plate most times.

once you get restriction this will be a LOT easier & you definitely won't be able to eat that much bread:tongue:

good luck to you!!!!

I bought some hummas yesterday. I have always wanted to try it and it really doesn't taste bad. I never knew what I could eat with it. Thanks for the ideas. I think there is a post on here about it.

Hey everybody! I haven't posted here in a while... But I wanted to say that I have been reading a lot of your posts and they have really inspired me to keep better track of what I'm eating. So I have started a food journal; I am going to plan out my meals the night before when I'm not hungry :thumbup: and I'm determined to stick to them. Today was my first day...

()=calories

Breakfast: 1/2c cottage cheese and 1/2c lite peaches, rinsed (170)Snack: 1 hard boiled egg and 1/4c trail mix (both= 190)

Lunch: 1/2c tuna with 1/2 tbsp of mayo (185)

Snack: 10 cheddar mini rice cakes (85) YUM!

Dinner: Not sure, My wonderful boyfriend is making dinner... Probably grilled chicken or beef and veggies...

Total calories so far today:630 so that leaves me about 570 calories for dinner. I aiming for 1200 calories a day.

How am I doing so far? Today was easy, the hard part is sticking to this plan...

That sounds like a great start! Maybe I should keep track of calories also. I do know that when I keep a food journal I notice when I 'm having too many Snacks. That was a problem for me!! I still allow healthy snacks still. Good Luck!
