Confused

KatsenD · May 9, 2008

I'm confused by what I am feeling. I was banded on May 2, spent the night at the hospital and came home Saturday. I did Clear liquids for a few days and now, full liquids. But I seem to be drinking ALOT!!! I do a cup of de-caf coffee for Breakfast, 4 oz of yogurt, another coffee and Water. This is about 6:30. Around 9 I feel hungry so I grab a cup of broth or Soup. Still with the water. I munch on suger-free popcicles or fudgecycles, throughout the day. Yesterday, I tried a 2oz jar of baby food and had no problems. for lunch. Around 3, I was hungry again and grabbed a can of cream of soup, condensed it down with water and blended it up. Supper I had a Carnation Breakfast.

It seems I am eating TOO much. Am I? I drink all the time, it seems. Is this normal? I pray that I have not screwed up, with only a week out.

Any comments? Most of the time, a sip of water does it, but when it doesn't, I grab a popcicle.

When the swelling of the stomach goes down, will the swallowing be like before the band? Normal? It seems I don't feel any restriction, with just the band there. No, I have no fill. I am just confused over what I thought I was going to feel. SICK! Stuffed! ????

Thanks, D':confused:

Most people don't feel any restriction until getting a fill. It does happen but not likely. Your tummy is still healing so it's good that you are doing liquids, and no, it doesn't look like you are eating too much. I doubt you have more than 800 calories a day from the looks of it. Not until you get restriction will you get that full feeling that people talk about.

Hang in there. I looks like you are doing great!
