Am I eating too much !?!??!?
It has been one year since being banded, and I am elated with my results. But the one thing that really haunts me is: am I eating too much. I know many folks say they have 1/2 a cup of this, and a cup of that, but I always weight my food.
I usually have 4 to 6 ounces of chicken, and another 6 to 8 ounces of broccoli-florentine (which contains broccoli, cauliflower and carrots), then about 2 ounces of “liquid" (broth, cream of chicken/mushroom soup) - which is about a pound of food. I occasionally will have some salad afterwards (with dressing on the side - fork dipped into it). Is this too much?
I haven’t lost weight in the last two months, and I am not panicking about it. I do still full in between meals, and I never feel overstuffed. A very good friend from here told me that I am doing fine, but I am still concern.
What do you think? Should I cut back? I did increase exercising, and I am scheduled for an adjustment in March. Just wondering.

Myturntobeme I had only one adjustment (fill) back in July. I have another scheduled for two weeks - so hopefully that will help.
I appreciate everyone's reply. THANKS !!
