knormlaver 27 Posted October 18, 2017 I had my lap-band removed after 10 years due to a malfunction and quickly gained back a good portion of the weight I'd kept off despite my best efforts. So I had MGB surgery 3 weeks ago and am now starting to eat mostly normal foods (soft foods). What is really surprising to me is the difference in the level of restriction. With the band I could only tolerate 1/2 or so cup of solid food at a meal. With my MGB, they say you should eat about 1 cup of food at each meal. However, while I do stop myself at a cup, I feel like I could eat more and find this a little unnerving. My body got pretty used to only eating very little food at meals and it makes me wonder how I will be successful eating almost double that amount. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
