Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Ok- I am now at the stage that I can eat normal foods in moderation/well chewed. (5 weeks post op)I have my first fill on Mrch 23. I'm down 20 pounds. However, last night I blew it. I had a cup of green beans for dinner prepeared for me, chicken nuggets and french fries for my kids. You know it... I had 4 chicken nuggets, 8 french fries AND my green beans. Wait I'm done done yet... then I had three girlscout cookies later in the evening. First time I have cheated! Now here is my concern... I am back on track today and will walk extra for those extra calories I had last evening, but I felt fine. I handled the food easily and felt NO restriction. I did feel full/satisfied, but like if I really wanted to I could keep on going(like the old me).. Please advise me/assure me that the fills is what provides the largest source of restriction and not the band itself. Most important PLEASE!!!!!!! give me a run down on the quantity/portion/amount of food you can/do eat after being " filled " . Like a whole chicken breast or a half.... This site is by far the most supportive group of women/men I have ever encountered and I wish I could meet each and everyone of you in person. Through my tears and inhabitions I have looked through each and every email and found many with the same questions/concerns, each with a caring response. Thanks so much for being my rock!!!
