ohhhh honey i am sooo sorry for you. i honestly didnt know you could even do that once banded, thought it would make you sick.

i havent been banded yet so i have a lot to learn. please dont pound on self anymore just get back on the horse. why is it 5 weeks or PURE LIQUID??? that scares the CRAP outta me!!!!!!

Being 5 weeks out the Doc says I'm fully healed. Because the swelling of the surgery went down now my stomach can hold more food (I haven't gone for my fill yet).

And yes, it made me sick. I've been fighting the urge of vomiting only cause I'm scared to death of my band slipping.

My surgeon has us do a total of 6 weeks full liquids post-op. Then on the 7th week... real food. *sigh* But I get my first fill next week which means more restriction & less hunger

Thats a long time to be on full liquids. My doc said after 2 weeks I needed to go on real food. Im sure you did no harm to your belly. My doc says that anything longer than 3 weeks of full liquids is depriving your body of things it needs. Im almost a month out and I could see myself doing the same. At this point you just simply have a band around your belly with no restriction. Its easy to do and you are human. I believe that as long as you get back on to your diet the next day everything will be fine. We all mess up every now and again.

Wow! I have been dying for a slice of pizza & terrified! Glad you got it down ok. Just don' have too many of those days. Get back on track & you'll be fine.

Hi Maria~

I love reading your blogs. It helps me cope with what my body is going through right now. Don't beat yourself up, it's a slip up, it's normal for anyone. Just dust yourself off and start all over again.

You know... yesterday was a new day and it actually went pretty well. I followed my diet to the T and that evening I went to my Zumba class. I feel pretty good about myself. I just have to take it a day at a time and today sounds like a great day for Hatha Yoga (and of course my usual liquids). Thanks guys... You're the best!!! :cursing: :)

I get hungry listening to what you ahd been living on prior to your fill. I had 3 days clear liquids 5 more full liquids and started food processor chicken and turkey and sardines right from the can at 14 days. You must have been starving.
