Not eating enough, I Know!

[Lezdiva 0]

I have a problem, I was banded on 11/26/08 and I still have almost the same eating habits. I Don't eat or drink much all during the day, then BAM at night I want to eat more. But since I've been banded I can't eat alot because I get full fast. When I eat earlier It is so uncomfortable for me that it turns me off, like the gas and the chest indigestion feeling. I have probably most too much in too little time. Think I am headed for the malnutrion stage. I definately don't get enough Protein in. Whats a lady to do if eating hurts and I have not even had a first fill yet. :thumbup: LOST 21 lbs in 10 days!!!!

You've been banded less than two weeks. Most doctors would still have you on a liquid or mushy diet. This is a time for healing, for letting the band settle into it's place around your stomach and for the stitches placed around it to heal. Eating solid foods would not be the ideal thing for your band right now. I'd say you are uncomfortable when you eat because you really shouldn't be eating much yet. What are your surgeon's post-op diet requirements?

As far as eating habits go, that is something that you are going to have to work on yourself. Have you always been one to eat very little during the day, then go wild at night? Or is it just a result of the discomfort you get when eating now?
