The soreness is getting much better. I am wondering though...is my band tight enough? I have not pushed the limits to find out but I can eat a hotdog on a bun, had a cup of spaghetti with a meatball. I have the cuts so I knowwwww I had surgery but I why can I eat these things?? :thumbup:

 

Maybe I need a fill as my band may not be tight enough????:tt1:

 

Going to the doctor on Thursday but if anyone has the same experince please let me know...

Did your doctor not tell you to be on a liquid diet post op? Eat a hot dog will not allow the band to heal properly in place where it needs to be.

Umm...yes I have the schedule for the liquid diet but bad habits die hard. I really didnt know that was the reasoning for the liquid diet after the surgery, I was not told. And I read the phases and they all end with until you can tolerate...guess I thought I didnt need the phases if I was able to tolerate already.

Thank you for the info I will use it like I should have been now that I have a better understanding.

I'm one week in and I'm not on a liquid diet. Definitely talk to your doctor about why you're so hungry. I'm sure everyone has different reactions. I know I'm still having trouble figuring out when I'm hungry and when I'm not. Everything feels weird. N. in there. It'll probably take some time to figure it out. In the meantime, try eating something better for you than a hot dog, at least. we'll get the hang of it sooner or later.
