  1. I got my band three weeks ago today. My band won't be filled for another three weeks. My Dr. had me on the clear liquid diet for 10 days BEFORE surgery, and for 1 month post-op. Although I surprised myself with my ability to stay on the diet so long, (broth sucks!), I had a moment of weakness last week and had a half of a small hamburger. It hurt like hell - and ultimately came back up within a couple minutes (in one quick vomit). I don't have any pain or nausea - but I have scared myself into thinking I may have screwed up the band - can anyone here tell me what the symptoms of slippage are? I feel fine and I can drink liquids with no problem....could I have stretched the small pouch with that one incident? Thanks

    Uh oh - slippage question.

    Thanks for the advice. My doc. wants us to take Protein shakes at this stage as well. For anyone who wonders, I like the Myoplex - with a little sugar free soy milk it actually tastes pretty good. I won't be getting a fill until six weeks out, at which time my doctor said I will feel like I did post-op. I can't wait because right now I don't feel full even if I drink a full glass of Water.
