Just need some answers
I had the lap band done last month on the 13 of oct, the 5 th of this month I went for my first fill. When I went in I was told that I would not have anything in the band until my first fill, well was i told wrong. when they went to fill me the doctor told me that I had 4 cc already in and they were going to add 2 more cc. great Im up to 6 already and it was just my first fill. Now my question is that I can eat anything I want, and I mean anything bread, rice,pasta what ever I want to eat. I have also notice that I want eat more than 1/2 cup. not much more but I can. Am i doing anything wrong or should I just wait until my next fill and see what happens. Im 31 yrs old and a mother of 4 girls so Im always on the run. could that be why I can eat more. I am losing weight so I know Im eating ok....
you need to eat at least 1200 calories a day and eat 3 lean cusine size meals and 2 snacks a day plus 64 ozs. of water. the size of a lean cuisine meal is what you need to eat about every 3-4 hours. It is ok if you can't get it all down. I can't still with no fill. We don't know how much is in my band from surgery date, but what ever is in their it is working... stick to what I said and you will do great! the main thing is 70 grams of protein a day then the vegs....hope that helps....Sara
