I was banded in Houston, Tx on 3/10. I have not had my first fill yet. My first initial weight loss a week after surgery was 8 pounds. 4 weeks later, I lost another 8 pounds. I am currently down 21 pounds in about 7weeks time. My surgeon does not want to fill me until 5/17. But I am scared to death of gaining weight because I am having to use my own will power. So, sometimes, I just don't want to eat because I am fearful of weight gain! I know this is awful and I shouldn't but I am not sure what to eat.... I have only lost about a pound since my last appt on 4/17 and I am concerned about that. I am on the soft foods phase. I hear some people say to eat every 2-3 hours, others say just 3 meals. What are some good things to eat and how often?
