Hi this is my first time on a blog. I was banded on the 24th January 2011 and am feeling ok. have done heaps of research prior to deciding to undergo the lap band but now that i am in the process of it i find it really overwhelming. I didnt have to do anything pre op just eat as normal. i had chicken noodle soup and ate the noodles (i am in the liquid phase for 14days) and find that i have pain in my left side/chest. the rule i was given if it can go up a straw you can have it. (the noodles were the thin little ones) and now im worried that i have something stuck or am i just over reacting? i have basically been having up and go's and soup for the last 5 days. i am climbing the walls wanting something with some texture. if anyone has any other ideas about what i can eat for the next week whilst still on the liquid phase i would be grateful. do you think i went too far with eating the noodles? i als treated myself to some takeaway chinese chicken and corn soup i didnt eat the chicken but the corn was eaten now i feel really stupid and angry that i may have stuffed this whole thing up so soon.
