Don't feel so bad, but try to do what have to do - learn from it and try not to do it again. I was banded on 3/03/11 and am on full liquids. My family all went out to dinner tonight and I ate refried beans w/cheese & sour cream and a chile relleno! All this was about a full cup of food. I feel like crap for doing it and my left shoulder is achy, but - it is what it is, and I am back on the "Band"wagon for sure LOL. We are only human and this is a major change for us.

My husband is the absolute best!!!! He is so attentive. I have to be careful not to become a helpless patient LOL. I love him. Surgery yesterday went as expected. The pain wasn't as bad as my previous 3 c-sections. Today I haven't been very hungry. I read my 7 day post-op diet instructions AGAIN and called my nutritionist because the instructions stated that 8-12 oz of protien shake would be ok (hum..should I make it with water or ff milk??). The nutritionist confirmed this would be ok with milk- if I tolerated it well. Well, one tiny sip and I CANNOT tolerate it at all! My abdomen blew up like a balloon, and needless to say- I was in pain. Oh well, I will stick to CLEAR liquids period and walk,walk,walk.

Not the 8th, but the 3rd, good luck.
