Hello all,

I was banded on June 15 and feel fine.  As far as food  gooes that another story.  I feel as if I am eating too much.  I have also been able to eat alot of f different foods without difficulty such as cherries, skinless apples, chicken, shrimp and chili.  IS this notmal at 3 weeks post op.

Yesterday  ended up a Burger king with my job and I was hungry so I ate there!
I had 3 /4 of  a veggie  burger without the bread, toppings or condiments, musturd and all of the apple slices.  Am I supposed to be eating this much?

On Wed. I was reallhy bad   I had half of  a bbq spare rib.  Am I going to injure my band with all of these bad choices?

Thanks for being my confessional!

From what I have been told is that you won't feel any restrictions until you have had your first fill, that is why you are able to eat a larger amount, wait until you get your fills, you will not be able to eat that much.

I've heard the same thing.  I'm 2 weeks post op almost and also feel better and like I could eat something regular.  I'm very afraid though!  My doc. put me on 2 weeks of liquids and 2 weeks of pureed, so I'm totally following the rules, just for fear of messing up the healing of the band.  I DID put some hard boiled egg and mayo in the magic bullet today and made a sort of mushy egg salad.  I was dying for something different.  Good luck...  I've read a lot that this is the time period where it's hard to have the will power and perserverance!
