Am I doing something wrong?

OK, bandsters.  i am wondering if I misunderstood what the band actually helps you to achieve.  I am 3 days post op and am on the liquid diet.  Can someone explain to be how I was able to eat nearly 12 ounces of creamy corn chowder today at lunch?  I had about 3 oz. of low carb slim fast this am.  ~ 16 oz. of water during the rest of the morning, and then the soup.  Right now I am not thirsty at all but I just wanted to know is this right, should I slow down?  What is going on?

Congratulations on making it to the losers bench.  I wish I could help you out w/ your question but I'm just not educated enough on lap.  Just wanted to drop in and say hi and congrats! Are you supposed to measure your food?  I'm not allowed more then 1/2 c per meal.  So when it's gone it's gone but I'm normally full before it's gone. I hope you get your answer! Christina

i have heard from other bandsters that untill you get a fill you doin't have restriction. the liquid is for healing.  I can't help much I had RNY but good luck to you! try the lap band board they will have tons of help I bet.
