I am still on my liquids. I had my band on August 27th. I have 4 oz. of liquids at a time. I usually wait 3-4 hours before my next 4 oz. I will go on mushies next week. And then solid foods.

I have hit my sweet spot and can only eat 1/3 to 1/4 cup of food.< /p>

I'm far from my sweet spot, but 5 months post-op.. For b'fast I can only eat about 1/4 cup.. for lunch I can eat about 1 cup, and dinner I can eat up to 2-3 cups.

Should is another story..but I can eat up to those amounts without feeling 'stuffed'.

I was banded on 8/27. I am on the mushy/pured food time now and for the next three weeks. Honestly the 1/4 cup that I was told to eat is ok. I thought the same thing also, prior to actually doing it that I aould not be filled. My doctor told me to still have the Protein Shakes and those are quite filling. I have the Ispoure mix (50g of protein) with 12 oz skim milk (12 g). I divide this into thre 4 oz servings that I have without the day. Between that and the 1/4 cup of food I really am ok. But still I really can't wait to eat solid food.:nervous
