I am able to eat tuna chicken veg now- week 3- but I have found I have gained 4 pounds back and I am still abe to eat more then the 1/2 cup total- is this normal? i dont feel any different now then before the surgery--does that make sense? thank you

That's totally normal. You have very little restriction now, so your food is probably going through pretty fast. You'll need to go by your doctor's recommendations, but before I had my first fill, I was told to keep my meals under 1 cup and to add a 4th heavy Protein snack rather than something low cal. For instance, 1/2 tuna, Greek yogurt w. added nuts & high Fiber Cereal. They call this period "bandster hell".

Ill have to let u know later on...cuz Ive only been on solids a few days - have lost two pounds in the last two days so far.

BUT I am lucky to be able to get in 900 calories - I am working on it. I feel full quickly and it last about 3.5 or so hours. I make myself have some yogurt between to get some more in.

Ill try to remember to post again in a few days I wouldnt worry about it too much - though I know its hard... just make sure to follow ur surgeons advise until u get your first fill!!!
