I was banded 7 days ago and so far have lost about 15 pounds. I would probably say I’m about 85% healed and so far I’ve been doing very well but I’m kind of scared again because I notice that I am able to handle solid foods or eat more liquids like today I cooked my husband a small meal of BBQ chicken that was baked in the oven, Mac & Cheese and bake beans. I was so tempted that I tasted it. I had a little over a quarter cup of each and a very small chicken drum stick and scarily it went down with no problem and I was able to finish it… Now of course I’m super stuffed but it has gotten me down and upset with myself.

I can’t wait to see my doctor because I may need help. I have been drinking my protein shakes, liquids, and everything else but this is not good. Tomorrow I am going to work my ass off and get back on track … I’ve got to do right if I want to lose this weight.

Thats my biggest fear...to find food easy to jump into again. I know this isn't a cure all but I am hoping that getting full faster will help me. Don't worry and just keep focused.

Mrs. Stevenson please take this as sincere advice. I just want to make sure that don't over do it. Are you suppose to be eating solids yet per your doctors directions?? If so great, I just thought 7 days out you would either still be on liquids or just starting purees. The first 4-6 weeks is a healing time for your band and eating solids too quickly is not good for your band. A lot of time you can add pureed foods sooner but not solids but if your Dr is ok with with that keep on doing what you are doing. Take care.
