:help: First of all I was banded on 1/26, exactly a week ago today. I have been eating full solids for a few days now :hungry: . I am tolerating them fine but feel that I have made a huge mistake. I didnt realize the point of the liqued diet was for the band and stiches. I honestly thought it was for people with sensitive stomachs after surgery :phanvan . I am going back to the diet tomorrow morning, but Im worried I could have done damage. Would there be any signs, and if so what are they? Also I have a hard lump under my large insicion. Im assuming its my port, but its a little higher than what others are discribing. Any answer if great! Thank You!

This is my 1st entry. I am 3wks 3dys out. So far so good, I guess. No pain. I have just started mushy stage. I have not been very good at following my Dr orders . I would not advise that to anyone. I have not had any problems, it's just stupid to pay all this money and have 1 list of instructions and simply not follow them. I am very ashamed :think . I stayed on full liquids for about 5 days, then tried a few mushies and a solid. Went back to full liquid untill last Friday which was the mushy start day. I have done better now. I have eaten everything and managed to make it all mushy. I hope thats ok. :help: Please pray that God will grant me willpower, I really need it. My start weight was 200 and I am now at 192. My goal is to be at 185 by Feb 28th which is my 1st check up and fill :clap2: . Suggestions and comments are wanted!! <

Ok. First of all....I understand. Try not to be so down on your self. This is hard and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Im only 3wks out but it feels like an eternity. I have tried to stay on my mushies but I guess to me anything can be mushie if you try hard enough. I feel ashamed also, you would think dr. orders and only mushies would be easy enough. Yeah right. So I see youve had 3 fills. Do you think your getting enough restriction? Maybe they need to really pump that band up! Keep your chin up.....maybe a few prayers that God could take our cupcake and twinkie cravings away couldn't help either! Lots of love and you will be in my thoughts.
