How much can you eat after lap band surgery? Football vs Egg :)

Here's my response to a comment sent my way - "Do you really just eat 1 cup of food? ... I can't seem to get that through my head" In this video I share my thoughts and what helps me get over the mental block of eating differently post-op from bariatric surgery. I also explain the footballvs egg concept. Enjoy.

@neya315 Thanks LOL @ Minnie Mouse ... it drives me crazy when I think about the weird voice thingy it did at some point. But since I'm working on my 'perfectionist' ways I left it alone LOL!!!

I luv this video, I needed this! Show me how it really is, don't leave nothing out. I'm still going through the motions of insurance, monitoring WAITING.....so thanks for this video. I get worried about the mental part and don't want to be a miserable person because I'm used to eating a larger portion. This video is an eyeopener for me! THanks, you look great! Keep up the good work!

Also,although it would be difficult to eat such small portions( without lap band or gastric bypass) Would I get the same result as someone who had? Just by mimicking the portions of food that someone who has had surgery eats??? Thank ya for ur time! ;) btw u look great!

Hello! Just wondering how many calories are u eating with a stomach so small? I am currently trying to lose weight and I seen something on tv talking about if u eat under 1000 cals a day u will end up gaining weight instead of losing.I just thought that sounded odd because people that have had lap band or Gastric bypass eat so little and lose huge amounts of weight.
