That was my understanding.

As long as you're not adding any fat, calories, sodium or carbohydrates...

Honestly I am almost never "hungry" not in the traditional sense of the word.  I know that I need to eat and get my water...but that is, for me, the daily struggle.  I have found that I have no real problems eating salads, fish, soups, chili or chowders. But something like chicken or pork both of which I enjoy I find that I can only consume approx 1/4 cup or less (usually less) at a time.  I cannot eat eggs...I have tried on at least 4 different times and haven't been able to keep them down yet...so they are out for now. Also I cannot eat anything greasy (I tried bacon...1 strip of bacon and nope wouldn't stay down...which is probably a good thing lol)  At the end of the day you will just get used to what your new pouch and body will or won't handle.

I sympathize with the stage you are in now.  It was the hardest part for me for sure.  I was a smoker and a diet Pepsi drinker and I waited until exactly three weeks before surgery to quit both.  Actually I got up on Monday July 6th and quit food, diet Pepsi and smoking all in the same day.  By the 3rd day I could of killed someone lol...but I made it through and here I am not quite 15 weeks after surgery and I have lost as of today 80 pounds!

It is amazing and it will be the BEST thing that has every happened for you!! Stay strong!

Major headache woke me up at 4am...ooffff. Leaving on a trip today..it may be a long day ....

On my second which is just as bad as my first...long 13&1/2 days ahead...lol
