Question:
Am I eating too much?

I am 2 weeks post-op (band). From day one I have increased in ounces a little at a time. All of a sudden, I seemed to inhale 10 ounces of soup with no problem. No funny feeling, no chest pain. Did it fall off? I thought it was a fluke, but tonight I sit and eat more food than normal, yet I finally got than funny feeling? What is going on? Does anyone seem to feel like the surgery didn't take on you? I have only lost 10lbs in two weeks? What is wrong with me?    — crystal B. (posted on September 4, 2003)

Crystal, you are doing fine.. 10 oz of soup is completely different from 10 oz of chicken. Soup is mostly water based and liquid and that will go through our pouches much easier and not stop and fill up for very long. Test yourself when you are allowed to add protein (tuna, chicken etc.) I can be certain you will be pretty full at 3 oz of that. You are doing great and good luck... 4 1/2 months out and down 80 lbs. 140/193/273
